Ajax boss Frank de Boer hopes to keep hold of Manchester United target Daley Blind.
De Boer believes it may be too soon for Blind to make the move to the Premier League but understands why the player may end up leaving.
"I am convinced he will make the right choice," said De Boer. "If he goes to a big club then he has definitely deserved it.
"But I think it would be better if he stays one year. Last year was a good year for him but I think he can improve a lot with us.
"If a club comes along with a lot of money it is almost impossible to say no. But we won't let him go for free that is for sure.
"It is important for the player and the club that there is no tension or that it happens at the last minute."
