Kees Smit’s Transfer Status: Ajax Interest and Real Madrid’s Pursuit

Kees Smit will not be joining Ajax. Last summer, the Amsterdam club inquired about the player from AZ but found his price prohibitive. Currently, the young talent is valued even higher.

According to the reputable outlet The Athletic, Real Madrid is particularly interested in acquiring the services of Smit, who is an international player for the Netherlands U21 team and a recent winner of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship. The Spanish giants are reportedly looking to offload Dani Ceballos in order to facilitate this potential transfer. Positive reports have emerged regarding both Adam Wharton (21) and Kees Smit (19) as options in connection with Ceballos’s exit from the club.
