Liverpool & Juventus Among Clubs Chasing Ajax Winger Urby Emanuelson

There appears to be little doubt about it that versatile winger Urby Emanuelson is on his way out of Eredivisie giants Ajax after clubs from England, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Spain have shown an interest in signing the Dutch international.

Emanuelson has an expiring contract with the Godenzonen and talks about a contract extension recently broke down, meaning that the left footed midfielder could leave Ajax on a free transfer and this hasn't gone unnoticed in Europe.

According to a report in De Telegraaf, fallen English giants Liverpool and Serie A titans Juventus are just two of the clubs that are closely monitoring the situation of the 24-year-old Emanuelson, but they're facing stiff competition in the race for the versatile player's services.

Clubs such as Genoa, Lazio, Villarreal, Malaga, Benfica, Porto, Hoffenheim, Borussia Dortmund, Wolfsburg and Hamburg are all eager to add Emanuelson to their squad ahead of the 2011-12 campaign.

"There are plenty of interest clubs. I won't confirm or deny any names though. However, I've told interested teams that Urby won't leave Ajax during the winter transfer window," Brian Berkleef, Emanuelson's agent, was quoted as saying.
