Everton and Liverpool both reportedly want to sign the Ajax ace.
Everton and Liverpool-linked Ajax ace David Neres has suggested that he has no intentions of leaving the Eredivisie outfit this summer.
According to UOL Esporte, the Toffees were making inroads to signing the Brazilian last month, whilst French publication Le 10 Sport claimed that the Reds are also interested in the winger.
Neres, 22, was in fine form for Ajax last season, racking up an impressive 12 goals and 15 assists in 50 appearances in all competitions, and he would be an excellent addition for either Everton or Liverpool.
It seems like both Merseyside clubs will have to be patient in their ongoing quest to sign the Ajax ace, however.
Neres spoke exclusively to Dutch media outlet Algemeen Dagblad, and insisted that he plans to stay in Holland for the foreseeable future:
“I have to be back at Ajax on July 28. My future is with Ajax.”
The Brazilian is valued at around £35 million, according to the Telegraph, but if the player wants to stay at Ajax, there is little that Everton or Liverpool will be able to do.
Money talks though, and should Everton or Liverpool actually lodge a bid for the South American this summer, it will be interesting to see whether his stance changes.
