Nicolás Tagliafico is in the interest of Leeds United, Valentijn Driessen reports on Friday evening Veronica Inside. The number ten of the Premier League hopes to recruit the 28-year-old left back of Ajax next summer. Tagliafico has an agreement with director of football affairs Marc Overmars that Ajax will in principle cooperate in a transfer to a top competition.

Johan Derksen thinks that Ajax can make up for the lack of Tagliafico. “Excuse me, it’s a fierce one backie, and he works hard, but he makes a lot of crazy fouls, “says the analyst.” But that much-lauded Ajax youth academy must be able to produce a left back, right? You don’t have to get it from South America for the main prize, do you? Come on. They already have two specialists on the wings (David Neres and Antony, ed.) Who don’t know what to do. And such a player in South America often has five people who own such a player, and they all have to be paid off. “

Tagliafico is under contract in the Johan Cruijff ArenA until mid-2023. It is an open secret that the Argentinian dreams of a transfer to a top league, but the question is whether he likes Leeds United. Made in September The Telegraph announced that Tagliafico rejected a transfer to Bayer Leverkusen last summer. The South American has been playing for Ajax since January 2018 and has played for the team from Amsterdam in 135 official matches so far.
