AJAX: Ajax sign Oleguer

/noticias.info/ Amsterdam, 28 jul 2008
Ajax have reached agreement with Oleguer Presas Renom of FC Barcelona. Oleguer (Sabadell, 2 Februayi 1980) will undergo a physical examination on Monday. Then he will sign a contract that runs to 1 July 2011.
Ajax have an option to extend the contract with one more year. Ajax and Barcelona reached an agreement about the transfer of the 28-year-old defender last Tuesday.

Oleguer joined FC Barcelona from Grammanet in the summer of 2001. He made his official debut for Barcelona in the Champions League match against Galatasaray on 13 November 2002. Oleguer played 164 official matches for the Catalan club, with which he won two national titles, two Spanish super cups and, in 2006, the Champions League.

Marco van Basten expects to welcome the defender on the Ajax training on Tuesday. The team will travel to England for a training camp on Wednesday.

,,Danny Blind called me late last night, to say it was finalised'', Van Basten said in a first reaction. ,,Yes, that was good news. It hasn't been a secret that we are looking for a central defender. I am happy that we have acquired Oleguer. His qualities fit are exactly what Ajax need. We are all convinced of that. He has a good age, experience at a high level and is a real defender. It is also good that the vacant position was not filled at the end of the preseason. If everything goes well with the physical on Monday, he can go with us to England. That will be good for him and for us. Then he can get to know the guys and we can fit him into the team.'' notas_de_prensa_archivo
