This is what the Dutch international had to say about all the speculation to Goal, “Of course, it’s flattering when you’re linked with clubs like Manchester United and Barcelona.”
“It would be very hard to turn down these kind of clubs. But there’s no serious interest as of yet.
“You can never make promises in football. When you make a promise, you have to stick to it. There are plenty of players who promise to stay and then leave after all. I am keeping my options open. I am very happy in Amsterdam and at Ajax, but you never know what could happen.”
“I am still developing as a player. I am only 24-years-old, so I hope that there’s still room for improvement.”
“La Liga would suit my style of play. Perhaps England as well, but that’s a very physical competition and that’s not my biggest strength. I have made steps forward physically, but fighting out personal duels is not my thing. I am not like Jan Vertonghen, who is very powerful.
“The most important thing for me at a new club is that they play proper football. I would be more open to a club that plays proper football than to a club that only hits long balls.”
Blind has been with the lancers since 1998 having progressed from club’s youth academy.
