Ajax’s Challenges in Attracting Top Talent

Historically, Ajax has successfully recruited players from Brazil, featuring talents like David Neres and Antony. However, that era appears to be behind them.

In the program “Tekengeld,” journalist Cristian Willaert discusses the recent acquisition of Maximilian Ibrahimovic in Amsterdam. He suggests that Ibrahimovic is seen as a potential future replacement for Mika Godts. Willaert clarifies, “This does not imply that Ibrahimovic has been brought in to be ready within six months for Godts’ departure. Instead, Ajax finds itself in a predicament where it is increasingly challenging to attract young players who can immediately contribute and provide quality.”
