Boca Juniors midfielder Nicolas Gaitan claims he has received an offer from an unnamed club amid reports Ajax are preparing an €11million (£10m) summer bid.

Rumours in South America suggest that the 22-year-old's agent is set to travel to the United States to meet officials from the Dutch club before the end of the week.

An anonymous Russian club are also said to be tracking Gaitan, but Ajax boss Martin Jol would appear to be in the box seat.

Gaitan told South American media: "I am very happy and proud for all that is being said.

"I know that there is an offer for me and that it's from an important team, but I don't want to think too much about it as there hasn't been anything formal yet."

But Gaitan, who has made three appearances of Argentina, is in no hurry to move to Europe.

He added: "I have to stay calm and keep on working and thinking that I am at Boca. In fact, in the truth, I am so comfortable at Boca that I would stay here forever."
