Klaas Jan Huntelaar's agent Arnold Oosterveer has denied the rumors that Huntelaar is on the verge of signing a new deal at Ajax...

Prolific hit man Klaas Jan Huntelaar will not sign a new deal at Amsterdam giants Ajax in the near future. His current deal at Ajax expires in 2010 and both parties were reportedly on the verge of discussing a new deal in the upcoming weeks. "We opted to stall negotiations about a new deal earlier this year to create a little more rest around Klaas Jan [Huntelaar]. Nevertheless, we'll re-open the negotiations in the next couple of weeks," stated Ajax director Henri van der Aat to De Telegraaf. However, Huntelaar's agent Arnold Oosterveer has now moved to deny the report. "I can guarantee that there are no appointments planned between Ajax and Klaas Jan Huntelaar to discuss a new deal. Not in this week and not in the near future," stated Oosterveer to Voetbal International. Furthermore, he refused to reply to Van der Aat's remark that Huntelaar insisted on a limited fee release clause of seventeen million euros when they were negotiating a new deal in August. "No comment," was the short answer when Oosterveer was confronted with the Ajax director's statements in his De Telegraaf interview. Huntelaar's reluctance to discuss a new deal at the Amsterdam side feeds speculation that Huntelaar's planning to stay at Ajax until 2010 and walk out the door for free when his contract expires.
