Kenneth Taylor this transfer period was linked several times to a departure from Ajax. The midfielder wanted to take a step, but is still a player from the club from Amsterdam. Freek Jansen, editor -in -chief of Football Internationalreports that this will stay that way. Taylor will stay with Ajax for the time being.
There can be a line through the departure of Taylor. Because Ajax raises at least 22.5 million euros with the transfers from Brian Brobbey and Bertrand Traoré, there is no need to sell. “Thanks to Sunderland, Brobbey flow into the millions and Taylor will play for Ajax in the coming months,” writes Jansen.
In recent weeks, Taylor was explicitly in the interest of FC Porto, where Francesco Farioli is in charge. The Italian manager would have liked to have added the midfielder to his selection, but now seems to go wrong. According to various media, Ajax would have been open to a departure and the asking price recently reduced from 35 million to 25 million euros. Now that the transfer deadline is approaching, Ajax is still refusing to cooperate in a departure. Finding a successor is impossible.
If the midfielder is still on the payroll after the transfer period, he will talk to Ajax about a contract extension. A fixed transfer fee for this will undoubtedly be discussed in the future. Taylor is still stuck at Ajax until mid -2027. To prevent a Quinten Timber scenario next year, a new contract is a must.
