Steven van der Sloot will make the switch to Schalke 04 after this season. The talent of Young Ajax announces the upcoming transfer to the brand new champion of the 2. Bundesliga on Instagram. The right back did not often play at Jong Ajax, which made him decide to switch to the Königsblauen† It is unclear whether Van der Sloot, who will sign transfer-free, will join the promises or Schalke’s first team.
Van der Sloot started his career at Haaglandia, after which he ended up at Feyenoord via ADO Den Haag. In the summer of 2019, the youngster made the spicy switch to Ajax’s youth academy. At the start of the 2020/21 season, Van der Sloot made his debut with Jong Ajax, for which he has now played thirteen times. Ten of those appearances were in this season, although they were mainly substitutes.
A permanent base place did not seem to be possible at Jong Ajax for the time being, which is now moving Van der Sloot to seek his salvation elsewhere. The defender himself seems pleased with the transfer. “Wir leben dich”, Van der Sloot refers to a classic German song. “New possibilities and new opportunities, happy to sign with Schalke 04.” The transfer has not yet been confirmed by Schalke or Ajax, but the announcement does not seem to be long in coming after Van der Sloot’s message.
Schalke 04 secured the championship in the 2. Bundesliga last Sunday, after securing promotion a week earlier. For example, the club from Gelsenkirchen returns to the Bundesliga after a year of absence. Van der Sloot meets a compatriot at Schalke. The team will go to the highest level in Germany with Thomas Ouwejan, since it was announced last week that the wing defender will be definitively taken over from AZ. Ouwejan was an important link in Schalke’s success this season with three goals and eight assists.
