MELBOURNE Victory has confirmed young gun Sebastian Pasquali has agreed to join Dutch Eredivisie club AFC Ajax.

In a statement on the club website, the Victory said it was yet to be formally advised by Ajax of the 16-year-old’s agreement with the Dutch powerhouse.

In the meantime, Pasquali has been withdrawn from Melbourne’s squad for Monday night’s game against Wellington Phoenix at Etihad Stadium.

The youngster shot to prominence with a 25-minute cameo in Melbourne’s penalty shootout win over Juventus in July.

He made his A-League debut when he came off the bench in the Melbourne derby, before providing the game-winning assist for Marco Rojas in last week’s win over Adelaide.

More to come.
