Ajax are reportedly willing to sell Lisandro Martinez in a major boost to Manchester United and Arsenal 's chances of signing him.
The pair of Premier League giants have both seen transfer bids rejected in their pursuit of the 24-year-old, who Mirror Football understands is ready to force a move out of Amsterdam. Now, though, both United and Arsenal can make another attempt after learning that Ajax are prepared to discuss Martinez's potential departure if their increased asking price of €55million (£46.2m) is met.
Unlike a few days ago, according to Dutch outlet De Telegraaf, the Eredivisie champions are now open to negotiating over the Argentine's future, who they ideally want to keep but acknowledge is desperate for a move to the Premier League. Ajax are said to be aware that United are prepared to increase their offer, having submitted a bid worth £39.6m which was turned down last week.
