Ajax are currently much closer to signing Arda Guler from Fenerbahce this summer despite the interest from AC Milan in the youngster, a report claims.
As has been reported by Bein Sports (via Calciomercato.com). the Dutch side are trying to act fast and make sure that they are in a position to win back the Eredivisie title from Feyenoord next season.
Guler has been heavily linked with a move to Milan for many months now but the deal for him is another that has stalled following the sacking of Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara.
It seems that, much like Ruben Loftus-Cheek at Chelsea, Guler could be another player that gets away from Milan because the transfer strategy is still being finalised by those who suddenly have a lot more responsibility.
The player should now be available for a €17.5 million release clause fee after he hit his 1,500-minute target with the Turkish side.
