According to Mike Verweij, it cannot be ruled out that David Neres is in his last months as a player of Ajax. The club watcher of The Telegraph even thinks that the Brazilian wing attacker is currently being put in the shop window by the club management of the leader. Neres, who was brought to Amsterdam for fifteen million euros in 2017, has a contract with Ajax until mid-2023.

“Based on the last few weeks you would say that Neres is coming again, but Antony is more stable”, Verweij explains in the podcast of the morning newspaper on Friday. “Neres has of course also been injured. But I also think that Ajax wants to put Neres up for sale. He is a little older (three years older than Antony, ed.) And before his injury there was quite a lot of interest in him. Chelsea has been serious. So if they want to keep money they will still bet on a sale of Neres. ” The Ajax watcher appoints a teammate who may also be sold by Ajax this summer.

“Maybe Nicolás Tagliafico, but that is very special. There is almost, or almost, no interest in that at the moment”, Verweij refers to Ajax’s Argentinian left back. “Then it turns out, and certainly in corona time, that the age (28 years, ed.) In combination with a very high transfer fee scares a lot of clubs. With almost no residual value. They can earn the best from Ryan Gravenberch, although I thought those against AS Roma are not good. ” Verweij does not expect a spectacular transfer at Ajax in the coming period.

“Erik ten Hag still has a contract until 2022, so they will undoubtedly sit down together after the championship,” Verweij predicts. “Ten Hag has already said that he is working on next season, so with that he is taking an advance on another Ajax season.” Borussia Mönchengladbach would be interested in the Ajax coach, who is seen as a possible successor to Marco Rose, who is leaving for Borussia Dortmund. However, Ten Hag has already indicated that he has not spoken with the German club, despite reports from BILD that there has already been contact between both parties.
