Ajax are planning on a €20m move for Real Madrid midfielder Martin Odegaard this summer, according to De Telegraaf.
The 20-year-old is currently on loan at Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem after previously making 43 first-team appearances on loan at Heerenveen.
The midfielder has impressed once again in the Eredivisie this campaign by netting eight goals and providing nine assists to help Vitesse into a top seven spot.
“I’m ready to take the next step. I want to keep growing as a player,” Odegaard told De Telegraaf, in quotes cited by Diario AS, earlier this month.
“My goal return and assists have increased and I think my performances have too, I am playing with more freedom and confidence.
“I want to finish the season strongly with Vitesse and then make a decision, but I am only 20 and I want to play in the Champions League.”
