Ajax chief Marc Overmars admits Nicolas Tagliafico is likely to leave this summer.
The Argentina left-back has been linked with a move to England, where Leicester City and Chelsea are keen.
Overmars told Ajax TV: “Nico is 28 years old and so I understand that he wants to take a nice step.
"Then you want to think about it. If that opportunity is there, then you should not deprive him of that opportunity.
"But only if all conditions are good for both parties. We just have to make sure we have good replacements."
