Ajax sporting director Marc Overmars has revealed the club's intention to extend the expiring contract of Brian Brobbey.
Brobbey has gone through the ranks of the Dutch giants and got a chance in the first team this season.
The youngster has made an impression but Ajax could lose him in the summer as he has just six months left on his current deal.
Speaking to the club's media team, Overmars gave an update on the situation.
“We have been working on renewing his contract for a long time. We still want that very much, but so far it has not worked out. He has an expiring contract and can now talk to other clubs, that is his right," he stated.
“It is my responsibility that there will soon be a striker with quality. It should not be the case that soon when it is January 30, there will still be injuries and we have no one in the front. Then you have to bring forward choices and have that. We are now done with Haller. However, it does not alter the fact that we still want to continue with Brobbey."
Brobbey has been linked with a move to AC Milan.
