Ajax have put what has been described as an "excellent" offer in front of Willem II left-back Mitchell Dijks.
The 22-year-old has a number of clubs on his tail, a group that also includes Scottish champions Celtic and Dutch outfit Feyenoord.
Ajax sold Dijks to Willem II, but now want the defender back, and due to a 50 per cent sell-on clause included in the deal, only have to pay half his €1.3m asking price.
According to Dutch daily De Telegraaf, Dijks met with Ajax coach Frank de Boer yesterday, a meeting at which the coach admitted Ajax made a mistake in letting him leave.
