Ajax renew Huntelaar
Ex-Madrid forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, known as 'The Hunter', has renewed his Ajax contract one more year and will remain until the summer of 2021, the club announced in a statement on Monday.
Huntelaar will remain at Ajax for at least one more season. And the striker was happy and eager to return to the pitch: "I was looking forward to continuing, preferably here at Ajax. I don't see myself playing with a different shirt anymore. I feel fit, I come here to train with pleasure and I'm sure I can still contribute on the pitch", the attacker said, who turns 37 in August.
"I know my role changes over the years, I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I've discussed it with the manager", he assured.
Although on 1st April a report from the magazine 'Voetbal International' indicated that the club would not execute the option to renew the contract of Huntelaar, two months later the situation has changed and Ajax will continue counting on him.
