Ajax and RB Leipzig do not seem to come to an agreement for the time being on the transfer of Brian Brobbey. The striker is in the interest of the Amsterdammers, but a first conversation has yielded nothing, journalist Mike Verweij knows. ‘s club watcher The Telegraph adds that new talks will follow this week. In addition to Brobbey, Ajax also hopes to bring Steven Bergwijn back to the Netherlands this winter.
The talks about Brobbey’s return to Amsterdam have so far yielded nothing. “Ajax has received zero at RB Leipzig for Brian Brobbey,” Verweij tells the football podcast on Monday afternoon. kick off by The Telegraph. “But Ajax is not giving up and will talk to Leipzig again this week, because Brobbey would love to go to Ajax and Ajax would like him back. There has been a conversation between both clubs, but Leipzig has said that they want to keep him for the time being.”
Rumors have been ringing for weeks about Brobbey’s possible return to Ajax. The nineteen-year-old striker does not get to play much at RB Leipzig, for which he has been playing since July 1. Erik ten Hag already cautiously hinted that he would feel something for a return of Brobbey. “If we can strengthen our selection, then we will,” said the Ajax coach earlier this month. “Of course we are looking. We did that last year. It just has to be the option. Like last year with Haller, that’s what you want. It’s not just to supplement your selection.”
Ajax will have to do without Sébastien Haller from January 9 to February 6, who will be active with Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup. The team from Amsterdam benefits from a quality boost in the point of the attack, as Danilo does not seem to seize his chance for the time being when he gains the trust of Ten Hag. Brobbey, who made the switch from Ajax to Leipzig last summer, was brought in by Domenico Tedesco seven minutes before the end of the league match against Borussia Mönchengladbach (4-1 win). It was the first time that the new trainer was on the bench at Leipzig.
