Barcelona and Chelsea are informed by Ajax manager, Erik ten Hag, that Andre Onana can be made available for the right price.
Andre Onana has recently been linked with Barcelona after reports claimed both Neto and ‘B’ team goalkeeper, Inaki Pena, are on the verge of a departure to make room for the Cameroonian international.

Erik ten Hag has said that there hasn’t been any official inquiry on the 24-year-old’s availability but insists that a deal can be struck any day as long as the price is right.
"“As far as I know, no concrete offer has been made to Ajax.” Ten Hag told Algemeen Dagblad"
Ajax are very much aware that European giants will continue to sign their top talents away, with Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt already departing the Amsterdam side last year, for Barca and Juventus respectively. Hakim Ziyech is the latest name linked with a move away from the Dutch side after a move to Chelsea was confirmed in February.
Onana recently opened up about his desire to leave Ajax for a new challenge amidst Blaugrana’s interest in their former prospect. Onana, being a La Masia graduate, knowns the Barca way exceptionally well and is looking to perhaps return to the Nou Camp to relive his former dream.
With Ten Hag claiming to be willing to listen to the right offer, Ajax are reportedly looking to earn 31 million dollars for the Cameroonian.
"“Andre is very important to us and of course we don’t want to lose him, but it’s true that we have an agreement from last year about the development scenario and what steps we will take if the right club comes in at the right price.” He said."
Chelsea are reportedly in the market for a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga, while Tottenham are also interested in signing a successor for an aging Hugo Lloris.
