Chelsea's move for Ajax starlet Jorrel Hato has hit a roadblock as the Dutch giants have reportedly raised their asking price. Although the Blues have been in advanced talks and believed they had reached personal terms with the defender, Ajax now reportedly want up to €60 million (£52m/$70m) to sanction a transfer, complicating the potential deal this summer.
Chelsea are reportedly pushing forward to finalise the signing of Ajax’s highly-rated defender Jorrel Hato, with the Premier League side now entering the latter stages of negotiations after reaching an agreement with the player on personal terms. While no deal has been reached between the two clubs yet, the transfer fee currently being discussed is in the region of €40 million (£35m/$47m).
Jordan Henderson has opened up on his departure from Ajax after the Dutch club mutually agreed to terminate his contract, allowing the former Liverpool captain to return to the Premier League with Brentford. In a heartfelt message, Henderson reflected on his 'immense pride' in representing Ajax, thanking fans and teammates for their support during a turbulent 18 months.
Manchester United’s efforts to offload Tyrell Malacia have hit a snag, with PSV opting not to trigger the €10 million (£8.5m) buy option for the Dutch full-back. Malacia’s underwhelming loan spell, marred by inconsistent form, has seen him return to Old Trafford—further complicating United’s attempts to clear out unwanted players this summer.
