The coach and director of player affairs Marc Overmars would like to add a striker to the squad, but first have to sell one or two players. “I think the opportunity fiftyfifty is that a new striker is coming,” says De Boer to The Telegraph .
However, the supervisory board is of the opinion that first “prefer it two “players have to be sold. “That is the policy, yes,” said the 45-year-old coach of Ajax. “They want to run each year to break even and did not want to go out the cost of the benefits.”
Ajax currently has only two real strikers, Arek Milik and Yaya Sanogo, and therefore urgently needs attacking reinforcement according to De Boer and Overmars. “Marc wants to buy very much, but have to justify themselves to the supervisory board.”
Risk
The supervisory board is normally a supervisory body within the club, but interferes so also with the technical policy. “I also find it very strange that the commissioners have so much influence over the transfer policy of Ajax,” complains De Boer.
“The supervisory board finds that the balance must be right. Therefore, we are now a healthy club . They do not want us to live position above ours, even though we have millions in the bank. They are afraid to step into the same trap as six years ago, and that is their right. “
De Boer believes that the Amsterdammers might well take a financial risk. “You think you can be with someone champion? If we have that belief, they had better accept. For we are the football experts,” the 112-time international.
Warranty
However, the search for a striker is not easy, says the critical De Boer. “We are always looking for a feasible one which is an added value.”
Many names are reviewed according to the former player of Ajax and FC Barcelona among others. “But I have a 21-year-old player from South America, which is probably the best comes into its own in a two-striker system, guarantee that he is a backup? That’s so hard.”
“I I see a lot of names come by, but ultimately it is a lot which I think:. it looks nice, but I guarantee that he will do it “
Noodgreep
? The preference in that quest is for a Dutchman, confirms the coach who led Ajax to four league titles. “We were very close to Jeremain Lens. And Klaas-Jan Huntelaar was not ready for a return.”
“We would prefer a Dutchman and a leader. In the end it did not happen. Then you do an emergency measure, “referring De Boer at Arsenal mercenary Sanogo. “That was not the first option and not the second.”
“Lens seems to me still a possibility. En Bas Dost would also suit us, given the development that he has gone through. The money, however, is often the problem, “said De Boer, who notes that there is a big difference between five ton and a half million euro net salary.
Ajax, the top position occupied in the league, is preparing Belek is currently in Turkey for the second half of the season and take it Saturday night in an exhibition game against Hamburger SV
