Ajax is aiming to spark a new bidding war by refusing to open Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez.
The Red Devils made a formal offer to the versatile 24-year-old defender on Saturday, but according to the Defender, the Dutch giant is ready to retire.
United are said to have offered €41m and an additional €4m bonus, while Ajax is refraining from €50m.
Arsenal, meanwhile, remain interested in players, with three offers already rejected with the latest offer of €35m and €5m for add-ons being somewhat below Ajax’s valuation.
Mikel Arteta wants Martinez to sign Gabriel Magalhaes and Kieran Tierney, who missed last season with a serious knee injury.
However, Martinez is said to prefer a move to Old Trafford. At Old Trafford he clashes with former manager Erik Ten Hag.
Ten Hag had to wait patiently to join Ralf Rangnick’s legacy team.
United expects to make significant progress in the next 10 days to make Frankie’s transfer from John a priority.
The Red Devils are also expected to confirm the signing of left back Tyrell Malacia within 48 hours of overcoming late complications.
The Hague are also keen to attack Brazilian winger Antoni’s former club, with United also awaiting a decision on Christian Eriksen’s future.
Danish International is considering making a bid for rivals Brentford, but their interest has been stifled by their former club Tottenham.
