Maarten Stekelenburg eyes Ajax exit
Netherlands international Maarten Stekelenburg has set his sights on a move away from Ajax next summer, with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United having been linked with the highly-rated goalkeeper.
The 28-year-old's current contract runs out at the end of next season and Stekelenburg believes that an extension is out of the question.
He told NUsport:"I don't expect Ajax to try to offer me a new improved deal. That really won't happen.
"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.
