World Sports: Mazlavi refused to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations because he did not want to miss the opportunity to join Barca

According to the World Sports Newspaper, Moroccan right-back Mazlawi, who now plays for Ajax, refused to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations because he did not want to miss the opportunity to join Barca in the winter window this season.

Next year's Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled to be held in Cameroon from January 9 to February 6. Mazlavi and Ajax' contract expires next summer, and he could also move in the upcoming winter window of the season. Mazlawi's agent is Raiola, and it is reported that Barca are interested in waiving Mazlawi and are considering a deal with Ajax to trade Dest for Mazlawi, but Mazrawi's prospects for Barca are uncertain, on the one hand, because Barca need to clear up the redundancy first, on the other hand, Barca have Alves who can play recently in the right-back position.

Mazlawi has made 21 appearances for Ajax this season, scoring four goals and three assists.
