DBasia.news – Ajax Amsterdam deserves the nickname of the 2018/19 Champions League dark horse. They surprised the public when getting rid of defending champions three times in a row, Real Madrid, with aggregate goals 5-3 in the last 16 of the Champions League.
This, of course, makes their players start to be glimpsed by many top European clubs, after releasing Frenkie de Jong to Barcelona in the upcoming summer of 2019, now the team’s mainstay left back, Nicolas Tagliafico is also rumored to be fighting over Arsenal and Real Madrid.
After a long silence, Tagliafico finally opened its voice about the interest of the two top European teams, but the news was a little disappointing for El Real fans and the Gunners, the Argentine player still wanted to focus on defending De Godenzonen.
“Now I’m enjoying life and profession as a footballer. I really love this job and am very happy when I get the chance to play with the national team and of course Ajax,” Tagliafico said as quoted by the Mirror.
“Right now I still can’t think about the future and see what will happen next. That means not respecting the club I’m currently defending,” added the 26-year-old.
Not only talking about the interests of Real Madrid and Arsenal, but Tagliafico also felt very flattered after hearing that he was also on the Barcelona shopping list.
“Yes, I heard that there was interest from Barcelona, of course, I feel happy, that means I have shown maximum performance and everything is going well. Like what I have said before, now the main focus is to continue to defend Ajax and the Argentina National Team,” he added.
Ajax is likely to be a club that is quite busy maintaining its flagship players in the summer, because in addition to Tagliafico, the team captain, Matthijs de Ligt is also included in the shopping list of Barcelona and Juventus.
