Ajax & Dolberg: Transfer Update – Latest News

Ajax is making a major push to bring Kasper Dolberg back to Amsterdam, and optimism is high that a deal can be struck quickly. The Danish striker has reportedly made it clear that Ajax is his preferred destination,turning down an offer from Celtic.This puts Ajax in a strong negotiating position, especially considering Anderlecht‘s financial situation after missing out on European competition.

Ajax is currently exploring a loan deal with a mandatory purchase option. Sources in Denmark suggest that personal terms have already been agreed upon with Dolberg, paving the way for a contract that would run through 2026. The primary obstacle now appears to be negotiating the transfer fee with Anderlecht.

The proposed deal involves a notable loan fee for one season, which would then be deducted from the final transfer fee, estimated to be around €10 million plus bonuses, as demanded by Anderlecht. This arrangement offers benefits to both clubs: Anderlecht receives immediate funds, while Ajax avoids a large upfront payment. However, a direct transfer hasn’t been ruled out entirely, contingent on Anderlecht’s asking price.

No New Wingers or Midfielders Expected (Unless Opportunity Knocks)

Ajax fans shouldn’t anticipate the arrival of a new right winger or experienced central midfielder unless an exceptional opportunity arises.The club’s focus, beyond securing Dolberg, is primarily on strengthening the left-back and right-back positions. Despite rumors linking him with a return, Hakim Ziyech is reportedly not being considered.

During his time in Amsterdam until 2019, he achieved considerable success, winning the domestic double in 2019 and reaching the Europa League final in 2017.His contributions, including several crucial goals, were instrumental in Ajax’s run to the final.
