Ajax keeps an eye on the achievements of seventeen-year-old Léo Fajarda. According to the Portuguese medium A Bola scouts from the Amsterdam team were in the stands at the match between his team, Casa Pia, and the peers from Benfica.
Fajarda is known in Portugal as a high-scoring striker. He plays with Casa Pia's Under 17 side in the south division of the Campeonato Nacional de Juvenis, Portugal's national youth league.
The promises of Casa Pia, whose main team occupies fourteenth place in the competition, are in a good third place in that division, just below Benfica and Sporting Portugal. This qualified them for the national championship qualification.
“The sensation team of the competition”, so it is called A Bola the youthful Casa Pia selection. With twenty goals in seventeen games, Fajarda makes a big impression there. Costinha, owned by Vitória de Guimarães, is the only player to score more. He scored 24 goals.
In recent weeks, Ajax scouts have been curious spectators at Casa Pia performances, where the match against Benfica last week (1-1) particularly attracted attention. However, the Amsterdammers were in good company.
Scouts from Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, Manchester United and of course Sporting Portugal and Benfica were also present to see the talents at work. Fajarda is not contractually bound to Casa Pia and will most likely have the clubs to choose from next summer.
At the beginning of this season, the seventeen-year-old attacker left FC Porto's youth academy at his own request to move back to Lisbon. With the Under 15 team of the Portuguese top club, he scored no fewer than 36 times in 35 matches.
