http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AFC-Ajax-c38228 set to table another bid for AZ Alkmaar’s Kolbeinn Sigthorsson – Dutch Eredivisie news
Reports from Amsterdam Arena confirm that Ajax Amsterdam have contacted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 Alkmaar with an improved bid to acquire Kolbeinn Sigthorsson. The Amsterdammers have already tabled two bids, but the AZ management was reluctant to lower the asking price for the
prized asset.
De Joden have been in search of a striker to replace Mounir El Hamdaoui, whose departure is imminent, and see the 21-year-old striker as a perfect replacement. The Eredivisie giants tabled a bid to acquire the services of the Icelandic International, but
the AZ management turned down their offer. AZ have now turned down another bid as they demand an increase in the offer.
Reports suggest that AZ are demanding 5 million Euros for the Icelandic International, while the Amsterdammers are unwilling to go any farther than 3.5 million Euros. Danny Blind, Ajax’s technical manager, has revealed that his side is considering another
bid for the Icelandic forward’s  signature.
“We will talk with AZ this week about Kolbeinn. No one benefits when this is going to be a lengthy matter”, Blind was quoted as saying to the media.
Sigthorsson had an impressive debut season with AZ in Eredivisie, scoring 15 goals in 32 appearances. However, his five goals against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VVV-Venlo-c40915 have worked their magic, earning him interest from a host of elite European clubs.
The 21-year-old’s good performances have not gone unnoticed, as Liverpool FC, Schalke 04, Fulham FC and Olympique Lyonnais are all being heavily linked to the player.
However, the AZ management recently confirmed that none of the aforementioned clubs have made a concrete offer. The management then went on to reveal Ajax as the only club interested in signing the striker.
Reports suggest that should both parties successfully negotiate the transfer fee, the 21-year-old striker would sign a four-year contract with the Amsterdammers.
