The midfielder’s agent Harry Lulofs had a meeting with the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 player to decide on his client’s future at Amsterdam Arena following interest from Newcastle, Sunderland, Aston Villa and Norwich.
Ajax Amsterdam head coach, Frank de Boer, held a meeting with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vurnon-Anita-c36486 and his agent, Harry Lulofs, to decide upon the midfielder’s future at Amsterdam Arena.
The 23-year-old, who has been with De Joden since making his debut in the 2005/06 season, has an ongoing contract at Amsterdam Arena that runs until the summer of 2014.
However, following immense interest from a host of English Premier League outfits including Norwich City, Sunderland, Aston Villa and Newcastle United, the Amsterdam giants are keen to prolong the versatile midfielder’s stay in
Amsterdam by offering him a lucrative new contract.
And Anita’s agent has admitted that the meeting went extremely well, and has confirmed that the club does not want to let go of the Dutch international this summer.
“It was a very pleasant meeting. Frank sees him as a defensive midfielder and really rates him highly. He saw it as being a case of opening talks over extending the current contract, which runs until 2014, or breaking it”, Lulofs
was quoted as saying to De Telegraaf.
The Dutchman’s agent went on to reveal that there will be another meeting with the Ajax head coach and sporting director that will confirm whether his client is staying at Amsterdam Arena or moving abroad for greener pastures this
summer.
"There will be a follow up appointment with De Boer and Marc Overmars, who plan to further develop this or think about a transfer”, Lulofs concluded.
The highly-talented midfielder, who can also occupy the left-back position with ease, has thus far represented the Amsterdam giants in over 100 Eredivisie matches.
Although, he failed to make an impact during his early career at the Amsterdammers, the Dutchman has been making headlines for all the good reasons since Frank de Boer took over the managerial hot seat in December 2010.
The Ajax management would not like to lose out another key performer of the last two seasons after already losing out http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Vertonghen-c17814 to Tottenham Hotspur earlier this week.
