Van de Beek has been with the Dutch giants since 2008, but the club are not willing to cash in on him just yet.

Overmars told De Telegraaf: "He has gone through a stormy development and for that he must be rewarded.

"We don't want to lose Donny."

The 22-year-old has racked up nine goals and ten assists for Erik ten Hag's side this season.

He signed a two-year contract with the club in January, but interested clubs could prize him away for around £45m.

Ajax won the Eredivisie title for the 34th time in history with a 4-1 win over De Graafschap on Wednesday.

After the match, Van de Beek refused to rule out a move away from the Johan Cruijff Arena.

He said: "Let it be clear that I have had a great season and I am very happy to play for Ajax. It will always remain that way.

"You never know what happens, but I still have a contract.

"We will see it for the rest. I haven't discussed with anyone yet."
