Michael Noonan
On Sunday, it was reported that Michael Noonan, an alleged Celtic target, is nearing a transfer from Shamrock Rovers.

Nair Tiknizyan
On Sunday, reports indicated that Ajax is interested in 27-year-old Armenian left-back Nair Tiknizyan but faces competition. French club Lens and Italian side Como have also shown interest, and Olympiacos is also considering acquiring the player. It is reported that scouts from the interested teams, including Ajax, are expected to attend upcoming matches of the Armenia national team to watch him. Tiknizyan has a contract with Crvena Zvezda until the summer of 2028, and the Serbian club is expected to demand a substantial fee.
Dani Ceballos
The most recent updates on Saturday suggest a deal for Dani Ceballos is advancing. According to Diario AS, trainer Míchel has convinced the midfielder to transfer to Ajax in a personal conversation, assuring him he will be an important player. The publication reports there is a good chance Ceballos will choose Ajax. Separately, Marca's transfer expert Matteo Moretto reported that Ajax and Real Madrid are almost in agreement, a detail also stated by AS, which adds that Ajax appears willing to meet the asking price of almost ten million euros.
Viktor Tsygankov
On Saturday, Mundo Deportivo reported that Ajax has shown concrete interest in Viktor Tsygankov and has already inquired about his situation. The report adds that Girona possesses 50% of his rights and will not accept an offer below 15 million euros. A day earlier, on Friday, Diario AS reported that an important meeting occurred between Ajax and the forward, during which new coach Míchel asked Tsygankov to join the Amsterdam club.
Perr Schuurs
According to reports from transfer journalist Nicolò Schira on Saturday, Ajax has contacted free agent Perr Schuurs. Schira reported that Jordi Cruijff and the club have offered the centre-back a one-year contract, while also stating in a separate report that Ajax is evaluating an offer of a contract until 2027.
Marc-André ter Stegen
Ajax is interested in Marc-André ter Stegen, but a deal appears difficult. On Saturday, Mike Verweij reported that the goalkeeper's arrival is considered an "impossible mission" due to his high salary demands. According to Verweij, Ter Stegen is a serious option only if he is willing to accept a large reduction in salary from what he earns at FC Barcelona. A private situation is reportedly making the player eager to return to Germany or a nearby location.
Mika Godts
On the outgoing front, Christian Falk stated on Friday that Mika Godts is being considered by Bayern Munich. The German club reportedly views him as a candidate if the transfer of Saibari does not succeed. Falk adds that Godts is valued at 35 million euros and has had a very good season.
