AZ Alkmaar’s Kolbeinn Sigthorsson one-step closer to joining Ajax Amsterdam – Eredivisie news
Reports confirm that AZ Alkmaar’s prolific striker, Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, has reached a personal agreement with Ajax Amsterdam and it seems like that the Icelandic International would be pursuing his career at the Amsterdam Arena from the start of the upcoming
season.
The Amsterdammers recently tabled a bid of two million Euros for the young striker, but the outfit from Alkmaar turned down the offer. De Joden then raised their offer for the Icelandic international and so far, AZ’s management have not responded to the
Amsterdammers’ improved bid.
AZ Alkmaar are still looking to hold on to their prized asset for the next couple of seasons by offering him a contract extension. Moreover, they have put a 5.5 million Euros price tag on the 21-year-old striker. However, with Ajax taking keen interest in
taking Sigthorsson’s signature in the upcoming transfer market and the Icelandic player’s eagerness to join the Amsterdammers has made it immensely difficult for the outfit from Alkmaar to hold on to their starlet.
Sigthorsson is the leading goal scorer for AZ this season, scoring 15 goals in 31 appearances. His stunning performances have attracted interest from a host of top European clubs, who are eager to sign the young striker in the summer transfer window. Despite
strong interest from across Europe, Sigthorsson has expressed his desire to play at the Amsterdam Arena.
Reports suggest that AZ are stalling on the offer as Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United are also reportedly taking keen interest in the striker’s signature. Moreover, both of these clubs are financially stronger than Ajax and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AZ-c38571 could cash-in well on
their star striker.
For the time being, however, Ajax look the most likely destination of the young forward. Reports from Amsterdam Arena confirm that the negotiations with the player were fruitful as both parties agreed upon most of the personal terms. It seems like that Sigthorsson
could very well be seen at the Amsterdam Arena the next season.
