Despite being seen at Anfield during the victory against Ipswich Town, Ajax defender Jorrel Hato has maintained that he is not close to joining Liverpool.
The defender was questioned about his future during a pre-game press conference today, which De Telegraaf covered.
The 18-year-old is regarded as one of the up-and-coming talents in Dutch football, and reports this week have connected him to moves to Real Madrid and Liverpool.
The defender’s appearance in the fans at Anfield during the team’s victory against Ipswich Town over the weekend fueled rumors that he was moving to Liverpool. Some interpreted this as evidence that he was actively negotiating with Arne Slot’s side.
Hato, though, wants to shoot the whole thing down and insists he was only watching Liverpool at the weekend because Ryan Gravenberch invited him to do so.
“I read it all,” he said regarding the transfer rumours.
However, I am also aware that not everything went as planned. It’s best for my development that I remain at Ajax for the time being. Ryan Gravenberch invited me.
I didn’t speak with any of the filmmakers there, though. Despite Liverpool’s impressive performance and the upbeat atmosphere in the stadium, there isn’t much else to say.
Therefore, that should put an end to any speculation that Hato will be leaving before the transfer window ends.
Naturally, that doesn’t stop rumors from spreading until the summer, and it seems like several big organizations are considering Hato.
Although it’s unclear if Liverpool is one of them, we can assume that Gravenberch has only invited him if he is spotted visiting Anfield again.
