Jorrel Hato requested to be left out of Ajax’s latest pre-season friendly to avoid jeopardising a potential transfer to Chelsea, with reports revealing an agreement between the two sides is close to completion.
Chelsea have reached an agreement over personal terms with the young defender, who has informed Ajax of his desire to make the move this summer, but an opening bid has already been rejected. While Ajax are prepared to sell, they want to maximise their returns for one of Europe’s top defensive prospects.
