Ajax’s Ongoing Search for a Midfield Controller and Coaching Prospects

omidbasir- Ajax has been searching for an experienced midfielder since the summer, yet there has been no breakthrough in securing a suitable candidate. The club’s management may have to eliminate several names from their list in the coming days.

Edson Álvarez remains a coveted option for this position; however, the likelihood of him joining Ajax appears minimal. According to the Algemeen Dagblad, Fenerbahçe is unwilling to facilitate a temporary transfer, as the Mexican player is a key contributor to their squad. This situation could change if the Turkish club successfully recruits N’Golo Kanté, which remains a possibility given their unbeaten streak this season.

In addition to bolstering the squad, Ajax is also focusing on identifying a head coach for the next season. Journalist Mounir Boualin from SoccerNews indicated that Spanish coaches are likely on Ajax’s radar. While it is uncertain if Xavi is a viable option, another name mentioned is Dick Schreuder from NEC.
