Under normal circumstances, after winning the league championship, the team will definitely make reinforcements on the existing basis. For example, Manchester City introduced Haaland , Paris Saint-Germain is also brewing a big deal. Bayern Munich has signed Mane..
However, there is a century-old giant that has won the Champions League five times, but after winning the league, it is facing the possibility of collapse. This is the Dutch Eredivisie super giant Ajax .
html In the UEFA Champions League group stage of the 121-22 season, Ajax won 6 consecutive victories and qualified. In the Eredivisie league, Ajax 6 wins, 5 draws, 3 losses and accumulated 83 points beat Eindhoven to win the championship. scored 98 goals and conceded 19 goals . It was the best performance on both offense and defense.
However, Ajax will face considerable pressure to defend the title next season. This offseason, Ajax is facing the situation of many people leaving the team.
First of all, it is the team's head coach Ten Hag. Now, he has started his first training session at Manchester United. The impact of the meritorious coach leaving the team on Ajax can be imagined.
In terms of players, those who have been confirmed to leave the team include Nuser Mazrawi. Nussel Mazrawi, whose contract expired, did not choose to renew his contract with Ajax. This man is extremely capable. The right back joined Bayern as a free agent and signed with the team until 2026.
In addition to Mazrawi, Ajax cannot keep Alai. Alai, who once failed in the English Premier League, shone in the Champions League. At the age of 27, he scored 11 goals in his first appearance in the Champions League. Next season, Allais is basically determined to join Dortmund , and the transfer fee is basically 35 million euros.
In addition to the defenders and strikers, Ajax's main goalkeeper also said goodbye to the team. Onana said goodbye to the team after experiencing the most difficult year of his career (being suspended for 9 months).
In the new season, Onana will become a member of Inter Milan and land in Serie A . The most regrettable thing for Ajax is that he also left for free, and Ajax suffered a big loss.
In the defense, Tagliafico is also about to leave the team. The former absolute main force has had a falling out with the team since January this year, which also resulted in him playing only 1,321 minutes last season.
Tagliafico took the initiative to reveal in an interview that Barcelona had reached an agreement with him in November, but the club refused to release him.
In addition to Tagliafico, Danilo Pereira has also been confirmed to leave the team on a free basis. The shooter who scored 17 goals last season, his next stop is likely to be Twente.
The above-mentioned six players can basically say goodbye to Ajax. In addition, there are two core players who are also on the verge of leaving the team. Ajax’s attitude towards these two players is that as long as the price is in place, they will be released immediately. .
They are Lisandro Martinez and Anthony respectively. Ten Hag admires these two old players very much. Manchester United has also started negotiations with Ajax.
Ajax's total offer to Manchester United reached 130 million pounds. Among them, the 22-year-old Anthony is valued at 70 million to 80 million pounds, and the 24-year-old Lisandro is valued at 45 million pounds to 80 million pounds. £50 million.
Ajax is not in a hurry, but Manchester United is really anxious, because Arsenal is also waiting for the opportunity. After the initial offer of 26 million pounds failed, Arsenal has already transferred Lisandro Martinez The offer has been raised to 34 million pounds , and Ajax has already shown interest.
If all goes well, Ajax will not only lose Ten Hag next season, but also seven core players. Of course, Ajax will also earn at least 200 million euros from it. Can Ajax's excellent youth training system continue to create new stars of hope?
