AMSTERDAM, September 2 (Eredivisie) - Ajax have reacted withbewilderment to two last-minute bids for star striker Klaas-JanHuntelaar.
The25-year-old has been consistently linked with a move away from theAmsterdam ArenA this summer, despite the club's reluctance to sell.
Andthey were surprised to receive a pair of enquiries, from clubsreportedly willing to pay in the region of 40million euros, justminutes before the closure of the transfer window on Monday night.
'We were perplexed,' said technical director Danny Blind. 'A last-minute transfer of Huntelaar was clearly a no-no for us.
'Those two clubs got that response from us.
'Imust say that it was just a phone call. You would have had to wait andsee if the offer would have lived up to that on paper.'
Huntelaar's agent Arnold Oosterveer was also surprised by the manner of the interest in his player.
'Itold the involved clubs that called me to go to Ajax, knowing that itwas too late to do something with this,' he told AD Sportwereld.
'Ajax have been very clear about it. It's really unbelievable to be confronted by this at the very last minute.'
