Ajax CEO Edwin van der Sar Talks Andre Onana Future Amid Barcelona Rumours

Ajax CEO Edwin van der Sar has said the Dutch club are eager to keep goalkeeper Andre Onana "as long as possible" after rumours emerged that Barcelona might be interested in him.

The 22-year-old joined Ajax in 2015 after spending five years in the Barca academy, and Van der Sar is clearly not keen to send him back to the Camp Nou any time soon, per Goal's Sandile Ndumo:

"I think Andre is fantastic. He came to Ajax aged 18 or 19 and the way he developed and the natural attributes that he already had, his speed, his reaction and I think he set himself as a great goalkeeper.
