Dutch international Davy Klaassen has rejected a move to Rangers, according to a report.
The 31-year-old is a free agent after leaving Inter Milan following their Serie A title triumph last season.
The attacking midfielder - whose former clubs include Everton and Werder Bremen - has been on the lookout for a new team since.
Eredivisie giants Ajax are another of his old teams - and it seems he's set to return home for a third spell at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Renowned transfer expert Nicolò Schira reports that Klaasen has signed a one-year deal to return to Ajax.
The journalist - who has over 330,000 followers on social media side X - claims that he knocked back approaches from Scottish Premiership side Rangers and Belgian Pro-League outfit Royal Antwerp in favour of his former club.
He wrote on X: "Behind The Scenes - Davy #Klaassen has turned down #RangersFC and #RoyalAntwerp bids in the last days to return to #Ajax. #transfers."

"Could we still look at free agents? That’s still a possibility, yes. Connor Barron has been filling that role and Dujon Sterling can do it also, as can Niko Raskin.”
