Manchester United are on the verge of agreeing to the sale of Daley Blind to Ajax for up to €21 million (£19m/$25m).
The Dutch side look set to part with an initial €16m (£14m/$19m), with the rest of the fee dependent on Blind’s form on his return to the Amsterdam ArenA.
United are keen to get the deal wrapped up sooner rather than later, and the versatile defender is set to miss the Red Devils’ flight to the USA on Sunday for their summer tour as he looks to tie up the move.
Blind started only four Premier League games last season, with three of those coming in the opening trio of fixtures and the remaining appearance being a full nine months later as Jose Mourinho chose a much-changed team for the final game against Watford ahead of the following week’s FA Cup final.
