Press sources revealed that an Argentine talent in the Dutch team Ajax Amsterdam is determined to join the ranks of the Catalan club during the current period before the Mercato winter market closes.
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, who specializes in transfers market news, Nicolas Tagliafico only wants Barca, and hopes that Ajax will let him leave to join the Blaugrana this winter, but the Dutch club is intransigent and rejects the idea of the player leaving the loan system.
The Italian journalist said that the Argentine player has a clear vision regarding his future and the team he wants to represent in the coming period, and is determined to wear the Blaugrana colors.
Tagliafico, aged 29, has a contract with Ajax that reaches the finish line in June 2023, and plays as a left-back, as a key position, with the possibility of playing as a defense center and a midfielder on the left flank.
The report indicated that the Argentine player refuses to surrender in front of Ajax’s intransigence and intends to pressure the Dutch administration again to allow him to leave Barca before the winter market closes in January.
He stated that Tagliafico realizes that Barcelona needs to sign a new left-back to compete with Jordi Alba in the same position, in light of the latter’s progress in age and a noticeable decline in his level in recent times.
