Ajax offer Anita 2 year contract Extension

This morning the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf published the news that Ajax have offered Vurnon Anita a 2 year contract extension. The defending midfielder has a contract with the club till 2013. If he accept his contract will be extended to 2015 and maybe 2016. Anita is still considering the offer but keeps his options open since Newcastle United is still in the race to sign the 23 year old player who was born on the Dutch Antillian isle Curaçao.

The new Director of Football Marc Overmars stated that they don't want to lose Anita: "He is very important for this team and we really don't want to lose him. That why we made him an offer that would put him in the best valued catergory of our players."

Vurnon Anita's dad and manager says he recieved the offer from Ajax and weighing his options: "We are still looking what the clubs from abroad have to offer, but Ajax really have shown great effort to keep the player."

Cove do you ever come on our board and give us good news ?

Nah I'm just kidding fella but it is starting to become a bit more frustrating with most of our targets clubs playing hard ball on the situation, which you can understand. Hopefully we can get a couple through the door soon!

 

Classic counter-move on FM to try to keep your best players, in the real world of football though that probably means it's over!

 

An extended contract means more money in it for Ajax if we do sign Anita. They don't seem to mind losing him too much as long as they come out of it well financially.

 

Yeah but its unlikely he'll sign a contract and then come to us in the same window - we'll probably move onto another target!
