Maarten Stekelenburg Not Interested In Signing Ajax Contract Extension
Ajax shot stopper Maarten Stekelenburg has revealed that he won't sign a new deal with the Amsterdam side.
Highly rated Ajax glovesman Maarten Stekelenburg has announced that he will not sign a contract extension with the Amsterdam side. The Dutch international's current deal is due to expire in the summer of 2012.
"I don't expect Ajax to try to offer me a new improved deal. That really won't happen," Stekelenburg was quoted as saying by NUsport.
"My current contract goes on for one more year after this season. Ajax are looking to make some money by selling me and I really want the club to get a good transfer fee. It's probably the best thing for Ajax to sell me in the summer of 2011.
"However, I will be the one who decides where I'm going to sign. I want to move to a bigger league and not to a relegation candidate. I'd rather stay one more year at Ajax than join a small team in a big league. I'm not in a rush to leave the club."
The 28-year-old goalie has already been linked with clubs such as Arsenal and Manchester United and some reports have suggested that Stekelenburg could be on the move in January. However, the Haarlem-born goalkeeper has downplayed such rumours.
"I started the season with Ajax and I will stay at the club until the end of the 2010-11 campaign. I'm confident that we can achieve great things with this team. We're playing Champions League football and are fighting for the league title." -
