Maarten Paes Joins Ajax as New Goalkeeper

omidbasir- Maarten Paes has been confirmed as the new goalkeeper for Ajax. Following previous reports regarding the Indonesian international, we can now disclose the transfer fee that Ajax will pay for his services.

Paes will join Ajax on a contract lasting three and a half years. Previously, SoccerNews indicated that Ajax aims to strengthen its squad with Maarten Paes during this winter transfer window. The tall goalkeeper is currently under contract with Dallas FC, a team competing in Major League Soccer, until the end of this calendar year. The information provided by Algemeen Dagblad regarding his signing for three and a half years at the Johan Cruijff ArenA is accurate.

Feyenoord, another prominent Dutch club, showed interest in acquiring the goalkeeper but did not pursue the opportunity further. According to our sources, the 27-year-old player will cost Ajax approximately €1.2 million. In the previous summer transfer window, Feyenoord made an attempt to sign Paes while he was in the United States, but he sustained an injury at that time. They re-evaluated their interest this winter but ultimately chose not to proceed with the signing.
