André Onana is still open to extending his contract with Ajax. That let his agent Albert Botines know in a response The Telegraph. Football affairs director Marc Overmars announced on Sunday prior to the cup final between Ajax and Vitesse (2-1) that the negotiations have stopped, but according to the advocate of the 25-year-old goalkeeper, the fork in the stalk is different. According to Botines, the supervisory board wants to close a deal ‘within one day’, while the Onana camp is prepared to negotiate further.

“The state of affairs is actually not very good. We’re not going to get out, no. That means that we have stopped the negotiations, ”Overmars said on Sunday ESPN about the negotiations with Onana. The keeper is under contract until mid-2022. If both parties cannot agree, he will walk out the door in the summer of next year. Botines is aware of Overmars’ statements. “I had also heard that through the media,” the agent told the newspaper. He thinks he knows where Overmars’ position comes from. “Marc understands the situation, but the supervisory board is pushing to close a deal quickly, it wants to do so within one day.”

Ajax has made a proposal to Onana until the summer of 2024. The suspended goalkeeper is committed to a contract until mid-2023. “There are some differences of opinion, not big ones. Marc is doing well, ”said Bodines. He has made a number of suggestions to Ajax by email. The supervisory board wants an immediate answer, but in that case Onana and Botines will not give the green light. “We are ready to talk further. And if that does not happen, we will see where André’s future lies and when. ”

Valentijn Diressen says in a video on the website of The Telegraph that he thinks Overmars’s words in the media are ‘negotiating tactics’. “Not so much the management, but more the supervisory board would rather have that signature today than tomorrow. Onana and his agent do not want to be pressured. ” Driessen thinks that Ajax and Onana will talk to each other again. “The arbitration case is expected before the end of May and to sign that time they sat around the table a few times again.”
