AMSTERDAM, Nov 23 (SW) – Ajax stopper Zdenek Grygera is being closely linked with a move to Italy, with Juventus and Inter leading the race.

"Both these offers would be very tempting and it would be very difficult to choose the better one," explained the player’s agent. "It would depend on the final offer."

A highly influential figure for the Amsterdam giants, manager Henk ten Cate admits that the player’s time with the club is drawing to a close after he rejected the chance to sign a new long-term contract.

"It's clear that he wants a new challenge," said the former Barcelona assistant.

"It's a pity that he will be leaving, because he is a super professional and a great lad."

The Czech Republic international has been quoted in the past saying that he would like to one day play in Italy, and this stance hasn’t changed.

"There is no change in what I have already said - that I would like to play in Italy one day," said Grygera.

With Ajax not participating in this season's UEFA Champions League group stages, it opens up the possibility of a move as early as the winter transfer window in January
