Yeah, what a difference this makes! Fantastic stuff! :cheers: The Echo confirm as well that the club are confident to seal the deal, but not done yet, mind.
If we beat Bayern to this boy, who have a sensational recruitment structure, and have developed umpty brilliant players in the last decades, it will show yet again how much we have grown in stature and attractiveness for young players. This hasn't only to do with our first team doing so well currently, but also that we start to be genuinely renown for our development work. It seems to pay fruits now. Two-three years ago, we'd have had no chance to pip a young player from under Bayern's noses.
And Ajax are world champions for player development anyway, so it's no mean feat to be able to convince this Dutch lad to join us despite their interest.
