Ajax will decide whether or not to sell Arsenal and Liverpool target Jan Vertonghen depending on how they fare in the Champions League group stage.
The talented defender has attracted strong interest from the Premier League pair in the past and is also on the radar of a host of other clubs across Europe.
Ajax hope to cling onto him until at least the summer, but may consider selling if they fail to progress into the knock-out stages of the Champions League.
The Dutch club have been drawn alongside Real Madrid, Lyon and Dinamo Zagreb in a tough-looking group, and could cash in on Vertonghen if they fail to make the lucrative second round.
Incidentally, Group D opponents Lyon are one of the clubs keeping tabs on the 24-year-old Belgian and, according to reports in France, the Ligue 1 side could be ready to firm up their interest with a January bid.
But, should Ajax decide to sell in the New Year, Lyon could face stiff opposition from Liverpool and Arsenal given their previous interest.
