And De Boer s representative Guido Albers has confirmed the Ajax boss would be tempted were offers to come his way at the end of the 2015-16 campaign, but insists talks have yet to take place.

Championship side Derby County have sacked manager Nigel Clough following Saturday s defeat to rivals Nottingham Forest.
Clough, who took on the role in 2009, has seen his side lose their last three matches in all competitions.
Derby s home form has been particularly concerning this season, with Clough s men winning just one of their five fixtures at Pride Park.
And after the 1-0 loss at Forest on Saturday, which leaves them 14th in the table, Clough was relieved of his duties.
A statement on the club s official website read: Derby County have this evening announced that they have parted company with manager Nigel Clough with immediate effect.
Clough has been in charge at the Rams since January 2009 and the club would like to place on record their thanks to…
Brazil remain in disarray. The infamous Mineirazo – a 7-1 thrashing at the hands of Germany in the 2014 World Cup on home soil – and two premature Copa America exits have severely damaged the five-time World Cup winners confidence.
Having retaken the command of the Selecao at one of their lowest points in recent history, Dunga fell way short in his mission to re-establish the world-beating vision of the national team.
His second spell at the helm got off to a positive start with 11 successive victories, but a quarter-final exit to Paraguay at Copa America 2015 quickly saw the mood change.
After a sluggish start to World Cup 2018 qualifying, failure to get out of their group at the Copa America Centenario proved the final straw and left the prestigious image l…
Valencia CF left-back Aly Cissokho would be delighted to stay on Merseyside beyond the end of his current season-long loan deal, according to the Reds official website, .
Cissokho, 24, joined Valencia from French Ligue 1 giants Olympique Lyonnais for a reported fee of €5 million in August 2012.
The France international, who has featured in four consecutive English Premier League matches for the Reds, was viewed as surplus to requirements by Los Che manager Miroslav Đukić this summer.
With Jérémy Mathieu the clear-cut No. 1 left-back at the Mestalla, Cissokho could be allowed to sign a permanent deal with Liverpool in the summer, and the 24-year-old defender has revealed he would welcome such a move.
It s a great source of pride for…
Barcelona have announced they have reached an agreement with Javier Mascherano over a new and improved three-year deal.
The Argentina international had been linked with a switch to Juventus, who have already signed full-back Dani Alves from Barca in the close season.
However, director of institutional relations Albert Soler has confirmed that Mascherano has pledged his future to the club he joined from Liverpool in 2010.
We don t have to talk about him, he said. The club announces that we have reached an agreement to improve his contract in the next three seasons with a better one.
It was one of the issues that we had left.
The announcement was made as Barca presented midfielder Andre Gomes, who has joined from Valencia on a five-year deal for …
Netherlands are sure to head into Wednesday s FIFA World Cup meeting against Australia full of confidence after their mauling of Spain.
Louis van Gaal s side fired an early warning to their rivals with an emphatic 5-1 thrashing of the world and European champions in Salvador on Friday.
Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie, who both scored two goals, were the architects of the victory, while full-back Daley Blind starred down the left as the Netherlands went some way to avenging their 2010 World Cup final defeat to Spain.
The Dutch are looking to go one better than four years ago on this occasion and will be heavy favourites against Australia a team they have never beaten in the Group B clash in Porto Alegre.
In the three meetings between the nations, two have ended …
Eyebrows were raised when Liverpool plucked Xherdan Shaqiri from relegated Stoke City, but the Switzerland star has been a bargain buy for the Premier League title contenders.
Arriving for a cut-price fee, reported to be £13.5million due to a clause in his Stoke contract, the 27-year-old has added much-needed versatility and depth to Liverpool s attacking options.
While Shaqiri is unlikely to usurp any of Liverpool s regular front three of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, he is undoubtedly an excellent player to have on the bench.
Jurgen Klopp has even used Shaqiri as part of an attacking foursome at times, giving a fresh dimension to Liverpool s build-up play by asking the opposition defence different questions.
January s sale of Philippe …

Moura made only 5 Ligue 1 appearances this season for PSG, none of which were starts. During the 72 minutes of action, he still managed to…
Luis Suarez has suggested that he would be open to a return to Ajax if he ever feels he is no longer good enough to play for Barcelona.
The Uruguay international enjoyed a successful spell with Ajax between 2007 and 2011 after joining the Amsterdam side from Groningen and vowed upon his transfer to Liverpool that he would one day return to the Amsterdam ArenA.
Suarez seemed to rule out a move back to Ajax when he stated that he aims to retire at Barcelona, but he has now hinted that a return could still be on the cards.
All my dreams came true at Barcelona and I hope to stay here for the remainder of my career, the 29-year-old told De Telegraaf.
But I will have to keep playing at the highest level.
Of course, I would like to return to Ajax some…
Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar should show more respect according to Montpellier s Andy Delort, who criticised the forward s attitude.
Neymar scored a stunning free-kick as Ligue 1 champions PSG came from behind to beat 10-man Montpellier 3-1 on Saturday.
Montpellier forward Delort, however, was not impressed with Brazil international Neymar – the world s most expensive player.
After a post-match altercation with Neymar, Algerian Delort told Canal+: Neymar is a great player, it is a shame that at the end, he goads everyone, that is what I said to him.
That is not respect, but we must not have been brought up the same way. He is a little erratic, a little haughty with everyone.
I said to him that he should respect people. When the entire world…
