AS Roma in hot pursuit of AFC Ajax’s Maarten Stekelenburg – Dutch Eredivisie news
Reports from Roma indicate that Walter Sabatini, AS Roma director, has arrived in Amsterdam to explore the possibility of luring http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maarten-Stekelenburg-c22998 from Ajax Amsterdam. The 28-year-old has remained a long-term target for the Serie A outfit, as their first
choice goalkeeper, Alexander Doni, has set his sights on a move abroad in the ongoing summer transfer market.
The highly-rated goalkeeper is a product of De Joden’s fabled youth academy and started his professional career at Amsterdam Arena in the 2002/03 season. The glove-man’s performances for the Amsterdammers have remained exceptional. Better yet still, the
Stekelenburg is the undoubted number one for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 national team.
After injuring his thumb earlier this year, the shot-stopper had revealed that he would be taking the next step in his career by moving abroad for pastures greener.
Furthermore, his departure looks imminent as interest from elite European clubs including Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Arsenal, Liverpool and Roma continues to mount.
Earlier reports indicated that the Serie A outfit have successfully signed the Dutch International, but Stekelenburg’s agent mooted all speculations regarding his client reaching an agreement with La Maggica.
Luis Enrique, the Giallorossi manager, has reportedly wished to sign a goalkeeper with great footballing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Skills-c40539 and sees Stekelenburg as an ideal candidate for his side.
The 28-year-old has an ongoing contract with his parent club that keeps him at Amsterdam Arena until the summer of 2012. Ajax have reportedly tried to renew his current contract, but the goalkeeper has so far refused to sign a new contract.
Reports confirm that the newly crowned Dutch champions would not let go off their prized asset for anything less than 10 million Euros. However, the Serie A outfit have shown reluctance to go any higher than 8 million Euros.
La Maggica must act quickly if they have any intentions to land the 28-year-old’s signature, as Atletico Madrid are also in search of a replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463, who recently completed his transfer to Manchester United.
