Hato broke into Ajax's first team in 2023 as a 16-year-old and made his senior debut under then-head coach John Heitinga. At 19, the defender is being considered as one of the brightest prospects in the world and a future star. His consistency for the Eredivisie side has caught the eyes of the top English clubs.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
Speaking to Voetbal Primeur, Verweij said: "So, Ajax has spoken to Chelsea about Hato. But he has also been linked to Liverpool and Arsenal. That is what you want as a Dutch club. That also happened with Lisandro Martínez, and then the price can go to a level that makes you really happy. They will be rubbing their hands with glee. I don’t think Ajax will care much whether he goes to Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool. Because then he will become a player for the main prize again."
