Ajax has disrespected Barcelona by signing our goalKeeper, says Zubi

Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta has branded Ajax as "disrespectful" over the signing of goalkeeper Andre Onana.

The Cameroonian, 18, is out of contract at Camp Nou this summer and therefore had permission to discuss terms with other teams, despite Barca having offered him an extension.

Onana was subsequently confirmed having agreed to join Ajax over the weekend, signing a three-year deal which will begin on July 1.

Zubizarreta has now hit out at the conduct of the Eredivisie giants, claiming they should not have made the announcement so early.

"The contract of Onana runs out this year so he was allowed to talk to other clubs," the former Barca goalkeeper, who is responsible for the club's transfer activity, told reporters on Sunday.

"We offered him a contract extension but we heard nothing more from him. The next thing I know, Ajax have announced his impending arrival at their club.

"The attitude of Ajax is disrespectful towards us. They should've waited to reveal that until June. But every club's responsible for their own actions."

Onana joined Barca's La Masia academy in 2010 and was part of the Under-19 set-up this season.
