Torino will make serious work of Owen Wijndal, they assure Tottusport. The 24-year-old wing defender is currently rented out by Ajax to Royal Antwerp FC. It sounds like the first contact with the Belgians has now been made.

A few weeks ago I knew Tuttosport to report that there was dormant interest from Torino in Wijndal. In addition to the left back, the arrows were also aimed at teammate Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, ​​but that interest seems to have cooled somewhat.

The Italians are most likely committed to a rental agreement with Antwerp, which should ensure that Wijndal makes the switch to the Serie A club this winter.

Due to the arrival of Borna Sosa and Gastón Ávila, Wijndal has dropped considerably in the pecking order at Ajax. Trainer John van 't Schip also has access to Jorrel Hato and Ar'Jany Martha in the left back position. Devyne Rensch could also function as a left back.

Since his transfer from AZ a year and a half ago, Wijndal has worn the Ajax shirt 32 times in all competitions. He was not accurate in this, but he did provide six assists. Ajax paid ten million euros to AZ for Wijndal's services.

Torino has maintained an excellent relationship with Ajax since the transfer of Perr Schuurs. In Italy there is a real chance that both clubs will sit down next summer to negotiate a permanent transfer.

Ajax will do everything they can to sell Wijndal with as little loss as possible, should a permanent transfer actually occur. The defender is still stuck in the Johan Cruijff ArenA for another three and a half years with an estimated market value of 5.5 million euros.
