Torino would like to permanently take over Perr Schuurs from Ajax, the usually reliable journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reported on Twitter on Tuesday evening. Torino has serious interest in Schuurs and may want to reach an agreement with Ajax in the coming hours. In Amsterdam, the central defender is still fixed until mid-2025.
At Torino, Schuurs would become the successor of Gleison Breimer, who left for Juventus. Breimer was voted best defender in Serie A last year. Juventus paid no less than 41 million euros for the Brazilian. Torino benefits from signing Schuurs as soon as possible, because Di Marzio previously reported that Fiorentina is after him. Thanks to Breimer’s transfer, Torino at least has the financial resources to definitively sign the 22-year-old Schuurs. on Transfermarkt.com Its value is estimated at seven million euros.
Schuurs only joined later during Ajax’s current preparation due to an injury to his knee. As a result, he missed the exhibition games against SV Meppen (0-3 win) and SC Paderborn (5-2 loss). In the matches against NK Lokomotiva Zagreb (3-0 win) and KAS Eupen (1-1 draw), Schuurs played half. He played 63 minutes against RB Salzburg. At the end of June, Ajax did not want to cooperate in a transfer of the defender. It seems that the club now wants to think along with Schuurs.
Schuurs has been playing for Ajax since the summer of 2018. The team from Amsterdam paid two million euros to Fortuna Sittard for the defender in January 2018. Since then, he has played 90 official matches for Ajax, scoring 3 times and providing 4 assists. Schuurs has won many prizes at Ajax over the years. He became three times national champion and he also won two TOTO KNVB Cups and a Johan Cruijff Scale. Schuurs gave earlier this month in an interview with Ziggo Sports That he has to play everything at a club this year anyway.
