Daley BlindAjax star Daley Blind has added fuel to speculations linking him with a move to top European club in the summer transfer window.

The versatile footballer has become one of world’s most sought-after players following some outstanding displays for Netherlands at the 2014 World Cup and he is widely tipped to leave the Amsterdammers for greener pastures.

He has now moved to admit that it would be very difficult for him to say no to clubs like Manchester United and Barcelona.

“Of course, it’s flattering when you’re linked with clubs like Manchester United and Barcelona,” Blind told Goal.com.

“It would be very hard to turn down these kind of clubs. But there’s no serious interest as of yet.

“You can never make promises in football. When you make a promise, you have to stick to it. There are plenty of players who promise to stay and then leave after all.

“I am keeping my options open. I am very happy in Amsterdam and at Ajax, but you never know what could happen.”

Seeing as how Louis van Gaal is determined to lure Blind to Old Trafford, Manchester United have been made 1.62 (5/8) favourites to sign the player this summer, while Barcelona are priced at 3.00 (2/1).
