Ajax is not yet ready on the transfer market, so reports The Telegraph. According to the newspaper, the team from Amsterdam is aiming their arrows at Davy Klaassen of Werder Bremen and Sean Klaiber of FC Utrecht. Football affairs director Marc Overmars has officially reported to the employers of the midfielder and right back, according to ‘sources around the club’.

Trainer Erik ten Hag has urged the club management to recruit a new midfielder. During this transfer period Ajax said goodbye to Donny van de Beek, Carel Eiting and Razvan Marin and therefore does not have a wide selection in that line. One of the reasons for finding Klaassen is his Dutch nationality. It stings the management and the supervisory board of Ajax that 41 percent of the players that the Ajax training club set up last season came from abroad, writes The Telegraph.

Klaassen went through the entire youth academy of Ajax and eventually turned out to be the captain of the first team. The attacking midfielder reached the final of the Europa League with Ajax in the 2016/17 season, which was lost to Manchester United. He then left for 27 million euros for Everton, but his adventure in England ended in a deception. A year later, Werder Bremen paid fourteen million euros for Klaassen, who has a contract until mid-2022.

Klaiber is in the picture as a replacement for right back Sergiño Dest, who will be presented by Barcelona in the short term. The 26-year-old wing defender comes from the youth academy of FC Utrecht, where he has played in the main squad for seven seasons. Klaiber was leased to FC Dordrecht in the 2014/15 season and has an undisputed starting place at Utrecht since 2017. The right back is stuck in the Dom City until mid-2022.

More soon.
