Thats according to Italian website Calciomercato via De Telegraaf, who say Steven Bergwijn is available for £17.5million.
Bergwijn, 21, made his senior debut for Ronald Koeman’s Holland during their 3-0 Nations League victory over Germany last Saturday.

Barcelona are one of a number of clubs who have been linked for the World Cup winner, who joined United from Juventus in the summer of 2016.
And now according to the Daily Mail, there is a greater clamour for Pogba to head to the Nou Camp.
The report suggests Messi and Pique would like to see Pogba link up with them as the midfielder’s power and presence would provide a different dimension to the La Liga giants.
While it is believed Ernesto Valverde is also eager for a deal to take place, Barca scouts have some reservations and worry whether Pogba would be able to adapt to their tika-taka model.
It is also suggested that United hope to recoup as much as £89million they paid to bring him to Old Trafford.

“I’m pretty sure Mourinho’s not going to be at Manchester United for too much longer.
“Whether it’s the rest of this season or maybe even another one, it isn’t going any longer than that.
