Ajax’s Potential January Spending: The Stije Resink Situation

omidbasir- Is Ajax poised to make significant financial moves in January? While it’s uncertain, the Amsterdam club may need to act swiftly to outbid SL Benfica in their pursuit of Stije Resink.

According to Joost Blaauwhof from Voetbal International, Ajax has already initiated discussions with the FC Groningen midfielder. Resink is also being linked to Feyenoord and PSV, but reports suggest Benfica believes he may not need to transition to the Dutch league at all. In the coming days, we can expect developments, although he was seen at the club on his day off for treatment on his ankle.

Could all the groundwork be in vain? This summer, Resink is estimated to cost around six million euros, though it’s likely his market value has increased. Earlier, VI noted that if Ajax allows Resink to slip away now, their extensive preparations may be wasted on a player who seems ideally suited for the number six position in Amsterdam. There is also the possibility of negotiating the transfer fee by involving an Ajax player in the deal.
