Manchester City with perfect chance to get player – Club have completely given up with him

Manchester City have been given their chance to sign Ajax youngster Gabriel Misehouy, with the Dutch side having given up on the youngster.

Voetbal International cover the youngster today and say Ajax have taken a ‘principled position’ on the player after months of negotiations failing to come to fruition.

The newspaper explains that the midfielder is ‘no longer welcome’ in the Ajax first team and is no longer even allowed to play for Jong Ajax after failing to agree a new deal at the club.

They’ve spent months trying to extend his contract, which expires in 2024, but have been unable to do. The youngster is unhappy with the perspective put on the table by the club, while Ajax are unhappy with the demands from his environment.

After months of wrangling, they have no decided not to put any more energy into the matter and a contract extension is now out of the question.

They’ve made their stance clear by blocking him from training anywhere and if clubs come in for him on deadline day, he’ll be allowed to move.

That should interest Manchester City, who have been consistently linked with the youngster since last summer and been watching from the sidelines as his contract situation has rumbled on.

Whether they make a move on deadline day is debatable, but the opportunity is there nonetheless, with Ajax now happy to just get the training allowance and solidarity compensation they’d be due should he move to Manchester City or anywhere else.
