Ajax Poised to Secure Transfer of Maher Carrizo from Vélez Sarsfield

Ajax is on the brink of finalizing a high-profile transfer, bringing Maher Carrizo in from Vélez Sarsfield. But what kind of player are the Amsterdam club acquiring?

Maher Carrizo appears to be a promising addition for Ajax. According to Voetbal International, an analysis of his strengths and weaknesses reveals some key insights. Starting with the positives: “As expected from a prolific left-footed player on the right flank, Carrizo boasts an exceptional shot. The young Argentine possesses the technical ability to strike both with finesse and power, accurately targeting the far corner. Notably, he requires remarkably little space to take a shot.”

However, there are concerns as well. His performance at Vélez has been inconsistent: “Like many talented teenage dribblers before him, Carrizo often shows a tendency to become overly enamored with his own skills. Situations arise, such as the one depicted below, where he frequently ignores an open teammate to pursue a one-on-one duel instead, a pattern that has emerged often during his tenure at Vélez Sarsfield.”
