Ajax boss De Boer hints at Alderweireld departure

The 14 million Euro rated defender is on the transfer shortlist of Jose Mourinho at the Blues, whilst Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool are also considering a move.
Frank De Boer said after parading new signing van der Hoorn: "If we imagine that Toby Alderweireld leaves Ajax in the future, then we have Mike van der Hoorn who can take over his position."
