Trade Options: Player Inclusion Possible

Ajax is currently losing control of Stije Resink’s situation. That outlines Football International Tuesday morning. The FC Groningen captain has been on the radar in Amsterdam for some time, but Benfica hopes to bring him to the club this winter.

It is no secret that Ajax will add another controller to the selection this winter. The Amsterdammers want to hire a veteran with leadership qualities to recruit long-term reinforcement this summer. Resink is high on the list for this at Ajax. “The captain of FC Groningen was born in Amsterdam and has already been enthusiastic about the move to Ajax, he can be picked up for a reasonable amount in the summer,” writes VI.

This refers to the buyout clause of six million euros in Resink’s contract. However, he is also starting to stand out abroad due to his good performances at FC Groningen. Benfica is actively looking for the services of the 22-year-old midfielder, causing Ajax to ‘lose control’ of this situation. As a result, the question is whether Ajax should not make an attempt for Resink’s signature this winter, as can be read.

FC Groningen does not simply plan to let Resink go in the winter, unless ‘large amounts’ are put on the table. “If Ajax lets Resink walk now, all the preparatory work has been done for nothing, for a player who seems made for the number 6 position in Amsterdam,” writes VI. ‘Reducing the transfer fee somewhat by including an Ajax player in the deal could also be an option.’ It is not known what amount Groningen would like to receive for Resink this winter.
