When asked about the potential deal, he said via Goal: ‘With Mazraoui, we are on the home stretch. There are still final details that need to be clarified.
‘If it works out, then we have a very good player that we’re very happy about. I didn’t feel like we had to do a lot of convincing.
‘The first conversation was that he was extremely on fire, in terms of form, and that he only wanted to play for Bayern. The thing was bagged relatively quickly. Those are the kind of players and conversations we need, players who have that hunger and push other players.’
Mazraoui has scored five times in 34 appearances this campaign and has been influential in helping Ajax win the Eredivisie title.
