Teenage Melbourne Victory sensation Sebastian Pasquali is set to leave the A-League club to join Dutch powerhouse AFC Ajax.
The 16-year-old has made only two A-League appearances for Victory after rocketing to prominence with an assured performance against Juventus in a friendly match earlier this year.
Victory said on Tuesday they'd been informed of Pasquali's intention to move but are yet to receive formal word from Ajax.
In the meantime, Pasquali has been withdrawn from the squad for Monday night's clash against Wellington Phoenix at Etihad Stadium.
Pasquali was not even contracted to Victory when he faced Juventus in the International Champions Cup in July but caught the eye with a cameo off the bench and even converted the winning penalty.
The Wangaratta product also set up Marco Rojas for the winning goal in Victory's 2-1 triumph over Adelaide last week.
