De Telegraaf are reporting that a €2.5 million deal plus bonuses has been agreed between the two clubs, with Zivkovic set to move to Amsterdam in the summer.
The Dutch paper also states that Ajax have already agreed personal terms with the 17-year-old, who is set to sign a three year deal with the Eredivisie champions.
Last week Ajax coach Frank de Boer spoke of his eagerness to complete the deal for the striker, who has scored five times in 22 Eredivisie appearances this season.
De Boer said, “He would be a good player for Ajax. He has all the qualities to be a good striker and has additionally become accustomed to Eredivisie football.
“With us he can take his next steps, for example with help from Dennis Bergkamp.”
