Ajax are set to smash the Dutch transfer record to land Heerenveen star Miralem Sulejmani.
The Serbian striker, who has been linked with Chelsea amongst others, now looks to be heading to Amsterdam.
The 19-year-old is valued at 18 million (£14.2million) and Ajax are set to match that fee in order to land the youngster.
Ajax and Heerenveen already hold the Dutch transfer record when those two clubs struck a deal worth 9million euros for Klaas Jan Huntelaar in 2005.
Now Ajax, who have also launched a raid for Boca Juniors defender Jonatan Maidana, are set to offer Sulejmani a five-year deal to move to the Amsterdam Arena.
"If Heerenveen and Ajax reach an agreement, and as I understand it will be quick, I will get on the plane to Amsterdam," agent Jovica Radonjic told De Telegraaf.
"Miralem will become a player of Ajax quickly."
