BREAKING NEWS: Club has now banned wonderkid from training as he wants to leave; Manchester City are keen.
Ajax have now banished Manchester City target Gabriel Misehouy from training as the Dutchman aims to leave Amsterdam.
That is according to Voetbal International.
So, what is the latest on Manchester City target Gabriel Misehouy? Let’s take a look…
Ajax banish Gabriel Misehouy from training
Well – according to Voetbal International – the Netherlands U19 international has been axed from training with Ajax after ignoring the Eredivisie outfit’s deadline to sign a new contract.
Misehouy has not only ignored Ajax’s renewal deadline, but the 18-year-old has even hired esteemed football agent Pini Zahavi to help him find a new club with Manchester City interested, according to De Telegraaf.
The teenager – described as a wonderkid by the Guardian – feels he should be playing in the senior side at Ajax and wants assurances over game time, although the Dutch giants believe he needs to show more in the youth ranks before that happens.

Clearly, Misehouy and Ajax are on completely different pages, which could open the door for Manchester City to sign the attacking midfielder this month, or for free in the summer.
The Amsterdam-born prodigy has been in excellent form for the Ajax U21 side so far this season, scoring seven goals in 13 appearances, while also providing three assists.
Manchester City should sign Gabriel Misehouy and send him to Girona
If regular first-team football is what Misehouy wants right now, he will not receive that at Manchester City.
However – according to the aforementioned story from De Telegraaf – Girona are also keen on signing the talented Dutchman, so perhaps Manchester City can arrange a deal to send him on loan to the Spanish outfit first, who are also part of the City Football Group.
While some fans will surely harbour concerns over Misehouy’s attitude, he does seem to be a player of world class potential who just wants to play senior football, so the gamble could well pay off.

Joshua Kimmich and Pep Guardiola could soon cross paths once again as Manchester City express a desire to sign the Bayern Munich No.6 this summer.
The Germany international has been strongly linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium as he enters the final 18 months of his contract at the Allianz Arena.
It was the Daily Star who claimed that Manchester City intend to make a £25m summer move.
With that in mind, it is worth taking a look at what Joshua Kimmich has previously said about working with Pep Guardiola for a second time…
What Kimmich has said about reuniting with Guardiola
Well, the German made 36 appearances under the Spaniard during their time together at Bayern Munich.
It was actually Guardiola who plucked Kimmich from RB Leipzig in a deal worth £6.4m back in 2015.

After Niko Kovac was sacked by Bayern Munich in 2019, Guardiola found himself in the spotlight amid rumours of a potential return to the Allianz Arena.
While that was nothing but mere paper talk, Kimmich was asked about it, and his reaction spoke volumes.
The 28-year-old is quoted by Sky Sports as saying: “I know (Guardiola) and have a lot to thank him for. He took me from the second division and let me play in the Bundesliga.
“We won the double together and after that season I became a player for Germany. So, of course, I won’t be against him coming back.”
Clearly, the Rottweil-born maestro loved his time playing under Guardiola, so a reunion simply cannot be ruled out this summer, when Kimmich will have just 12 months remaining on his contract.
