Chelsea and Barcelona get huge boost as Ajax boss admits Andre Onana is available at ‘right price’
Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana is available ‘at the right price’ this summer, according to manager Erik ten Hag.
The former Barcelona academy graduate has caught the eye of Europe’s elite in the Dutch league, and was part of Ajax’s 2018-19 run to the Champions League semi-finals.
Onana is being targeted by Chelsea, who are considering replacing record-signing Kepa Arrizabalaga, and his old club Barcelona, who want competition for Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

‘Andre is very important to us,’ ten Hag told Algemeen Dagblad.
‘Of course we don’t want to lose him, but it’s true that we have an agreement from last year about the development scenario and what steps we will take if the right club comes in at the right price.’
Ajax are reportedly hoping for £25million for the keeper, who has a contract with the club until 2022.
Onana only missed one game this season for Ajax, reaching 178 appearances for the Amsterdam side after being poached from the Catalan club’s La Masia academy.

At only 24 years old, he has impressive first-team experience after making his breakthrough back in the 2016-17 season.
The Cameroonian’s season was voided last month after the Dutch FA decided to cancel the Eridivisie due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Dutch fans were denied a title fight between AZ Alkmaar and Ajax, with both sides sitting together on 56 points with just nine matches remaining.
