M. Overmars: We do not want to become a daughter team of "Barcelona"

Recently, Amsterdam's "Ajax" is cooperating more closely with "Barcelona". However, the director of the Dutch team, Marc Overmars, denied to the NOS publication that the club is gradually becoming a subsidiary team of the Catalans. Such considerations began to become public when rumors spread that "Ajax" wants to borrow some football players from a "La Liga" club. "We maintain good relations with Barcelona. Their representatives want to talk to us and then decide whether they could lend players," M. Overmars mentioned about the potential reinforcement in the future. The newcomers will be needed for the Dutch because the "La Liga" team has already redeemed the contract of midfielder Frenkie de Jong, and also has plans to attract defender Matthijs de Ligt. "Of course, we do not intend to take many players from Barcelona - that is not the team's goal. We have talents from our academy. And older players and athletes who have recently started to show good football skills would come," he added.
