Nicholas TagliaficoArgentine international side Ajaxconfirmed to the program ‘What are you playing for’ of SER Catalunya that during the last winter market maintained “contacts with the FC Barcelona“, but that the negotiation did not prosper because “there was no agreement” between the Barça club and the Amsterdam entity.
Tagliafico pointed out that the deals were handled directly by his representative, but confirmed that, according to his information, the problem that made it impossible for him to arrive at the Camp Nou was that “Ajax asked for four or five million euros” for a transfer. “Barça wanted a loan with a purchase option and they didn’t come to an agreement,” he admitted.
While in other cases the implication of the Barcelona coach has emerged when it comes to chatting with the players who have interested him to reinforce his squad, Tagliafico denied “having spoken with Xavi”.
Although a few months ago there was a negotiation that finally did not work out, Tagliafico assured that since then he has not had any more news from Barça in the face of the imminent summer market, although he did not close the door on that possibility either. Moreover, his purpose is to start a new stage. “My idea is still to change the scene,” he stressed.
At 29, Tagliafico still has another season ahead of his contract with Ajax. In the campaign that just ended, the left-handed winger has participated in thirty official matches, contributing three goals and four assists.
