Real Madrid and Arsenal eyeing Hato: Addressing doubts about my future at Ajax, says Paul Vegas

He tells The Athletic, "I am familiar with the players who joined the first team at the age of 17 or 18 and were part of a dominant Ajax team that excelled in the league and made a mark in European competitions."

"It's a different situation for me. I have more responsibility than these players. So it's different and it's hard, but I'm doing well.

"I want to achieve more, achieve great things with Ajax: league titles, play in Europe, be at the highest level in the Champions League.

"It is not rare that people will speculate or think that I will go to another club, but for me it was always: 'I want to stay at Ajax and achieve things'."
