Ajax Secures Talent Paulo Da Silva Amidst Competition

omidbasir- Ajax has emerged victorious in the pursuit of Paulo Da Silva. Despite attempts by FC Porto, managed by Francesco Farioli, to secure the young talent, the 18-year-old striker is set to finalize his contract in Amsterdam, as reported by ESPN. Additionally, Paris Saint-Germain expressed interest in the prolific scorer from NEC.

Nearly two weeks ago, it was revealed that Da Silva had decided to commit to Ajax. Although he could have earned more at Feyenoord, he opted instead for the record champions. Da Silva is expected to sign a 3.5-year contract at the Johan Cruyff ArenA. ESPN notes that Feyenoord wasn’t the only competitor; he received offers from both FC Porto and Paris Saint-Germain last week but ultimately chose to pursue the plan laid out by Ajax.

NEC will not be left empty-handed in this transfer. Da Silva comes from NEC’s youth academy, and the Nijmegen club will receive not only a training compensation fee but also a solidarity payment. Furthermore, NEC has negotiated a resale percentage, ensuring that they will receive a share if Da Silva is transferred from Ajax in the future. This was a significant requirement from the player and his representatives.
