Davy Klaassen 'assumes' he will leave Werder for Ajax

Davy Klaassen 'assumes' he will leave Werder Bremen for Ajax before the transfer deadline.
Werder Bremen midfielder Davy Klaassen admits that he expects to join Ajax before the transfer window closes on Monday.

"I assume that it will work out. But I don't want to cheer too soon. Nothing is concluded yet," Klaassen told Deichstube after Saturday's 1-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld.

According to reports, Ajax have offered €12 million for the Dutch midfielder, but Werder are holding out for €15 million.

"It's normal to have three or four rounds of negotiations. A decision tomorrow would not be unimportant for us," Werder sporting director Frank Baumann said on Saturday.

Klaassen's contract with Werder expires in 2022.
