Ajax defender Jurrien Timber will likely sign for Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
The Dutch giants are ready to sell several first team stars given their financial woes.
Coming off a poor season, Timber is one of those who will be moved on for a financial profit, according to Andy van der Meyde and Wesley Sneijder.
They will need the next three years to fix the current problems," said Sneijder.
That will not recover within a year, right? I heard the salaries that are paid this week. That is around fifty million a year that they have to pay. That is no longer coming in. And they are not going to sell players very easily either.
There may be eight or nine players that Ajax will have to say goodbye to. But you also have to fill that up with quality, if you want to re-join very quickly.
I think they will do that in a different way with the youth," Van der Meyde added.
"Alvarez will leave for forty million, Kudus for thirty million and Timber will probably go to Liverpool. They also pay crazy money. Then you can start building again."
