Nicolas Tagliafico has handed Ajax a welcome boost after agreeing in principle a new contract with the club.
The Argentine defender is wanted by both Chelsea and Manchester City, but will sign a new deal with the Dutch champions and stay until at least the end of the season.
As reported by Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Tagliafico's agent Ricardo Schlieper has confirmed the club reached an agreement with the player on Thursday afternoon.
Tagliafico's previous contract ran out in mid-2022, whereas the fresh one will expire in summer 2023.
