The 19-year-old has been a revelation in the Ajax midfield since breaking into the first team last season, and has caught the eye of several clubs including Chelsea, Manchester City, and his preferred destination Barcelona. New Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was spotted meeting the club’s chief executive in Amsterdam, with Bazoer reportedly a subject of their talks.
However, speaking to De Volskrant, Bazoer has indicated that he is not looking to leave the Amsterdam Arena anytime soon.
Bazoer said, “Thirty, forty and fifty million euros, but I do not understand. I have a contract until 2020 with Ajax. I play football every week and am enjoying myself here immensely. So why are there these stories?”
Bazoer also indicated he wants to follow in the footsteps of Davy Klaassen, who has stated on several occasions that he wants to stay in the Eredivisie until he is undoubtedly the best player in the league.
“I also think it is better that you go to a big foreign club if you’ve played twenty international matches and are the best in the league. ” He said.
