Ten Transfer Deals The Could Be Complete This Weekend
United have been in talks to sign Blind in the last few days and reports yesterday suggested a deal was very close, with the Dutchman already in England to house-hunt.
And now Ajax have confirmed that they will not stand in the player’s way should a deal look as though it could be completed, freeing him up to make the move to Old Trafford.
“If there is a certain amount of money on the table for Blind, we won’t refuse,” said manager Frank De Boer.
“The temptation is there to go if such a big club comes in for him.”
It is thought that Ajax are holding out for a fee of around £15m for the defensive midfielder-cum-left-back, as they will also look to replace him before the transfer window shuts at the end of the month.
