A tough job awaits Sven Mislintat this transfer summer, Johan Inan predicts in the Algemeen Dagblad podcast. Ajax’s director of football affairs already had the task of strengthening the selection of the Amsterdam club after last season’s poor performance and must also take into account the possible departure of three strongholds. Mislintat would like to oppose the arrival of an ex-Ajax player.
Ajax took into account the departure of Edson Álvarez, who has already reached a personal agreement with Borussia Dortmund. Both clubs just need to reach an agreement on a transfer fee. In addition, Mohammed Kudus also seems to be on his way to the exit at Ajax. The Ghanaian international is in the interest of various clubs and Chelsea is said to have already reported for Kudus in Amsterdam. Jurriën Timber is, almost certainly, also facing a departure from Ajax. The 21-year-old center back has reportedly expressed his wish to leave and can leave for Arsenal.
Football journalist Inan believes that Timber’s departure is ‘going to be a major loss for Ajax’. “He has the Ajax DNA, which Mislintat finds very important. In addition, he was the only one in Ajax’s defense last season who was very comfortable on the ball,” says Inan. Mislintat recently indicated that he wants to have double occupation in every position at Ajax and so a right-footed center defender also became a priority. “If Timber leaves now, you won’t have a single right central defender. It is really a big blow to Ajax.”

Ajax must take into account a second gap year if Timber leaves, Inan predicts. “Mislintat will then have to replace a lot of players,” says the football journalist, who indicates that the German wants to keep the Ajax DNA within the club. “If Timber leaves, Mislintat will have to put together a team that the public can identify with. He secretly hopes to be able to stunt with the arrival of an ex-Ajacied to keep the club level in the selection intact.
Several former Ajax players are looking for a new club. However, there can be a line through the name of Hakim Ziyech, who exchanges Chelsea for the Saudi Al-Nassr. Davinson Sanchéz, who played for Ajax during the 2016/17 season, is aiming for a departure from Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, Noa Lang, who previously played fourteen matches for Ajax, can count on interest from the Amsterdam club. Donny van de Beek is also one of the former players of the team from Amsterdam who is facing a transfer. The midfielder may leave Manchester United.
