Manchester United are one of the clubs interested in recruiting the services of Ajax goalkeeper Diant Ramaj, according to Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk.
The Red Devils snapped up former Ajax goalie Andre Onana from Inter Milan last summer as a replacement for David de Gea, but the Cameroon international has struggled at times, and it appears the club want another option in the position.
Man United also signed Altay Bayindir from Fenerbahce, but the Turkey international has not been able to displace Onana, and a move for Ramaj appears to be on the cards.
The 22-year-old has made 23 appearances for the Eredivisie club this term, with his long passes and concentration his key qualities.
The former Germany youth international is not only good with the ball at his feet, he is also solid with his reflexes and hardly makes errors.
Ramaj was praised by Jong Ajax coach Dave Vos last October after his impressive performance in a 3-0 win over VVV Venlo, and it is clear to see why Man United, Arsenal and Chelsea are monitoring him ahead of the summer transfer window.
“He has a beautiful kick, but I also think he is a very good goalkeeper all-round,” Vos said about the German.
“His kick is of course noticeable, but I like it when goalkeepers have courage and take away space from their goal. He dares to delay the ball, so that the opponent puts pressure and you look for the solution from there.”
Onana needs stiff and fierce competition, and Ramaj looks capable of giving the Cameroonian a run for his money.
However, whether he is open to joining Man United where he is not guaranteed a place in the starting XI is unclear.
The former Eintracht Frankfurt only recently established himself as a starter for Ajax, and leaving for another club where he needs to fight for a starting berth may not be appealing to him.
Onana has been unreliable, sometimes committing basic goalkeeping errors, and changes could be made in the position if Sir Jim Ratcliffe decides to part ways with manager Erik ten Hag.
