The latest transfer talk surrounding Ajax includes a potential return for a former player, Perr Schuurs. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been linked with four possible arrivals and three potential exits. The items below detail the latest news on the most important transfer rumours, with the hottest storyline right now concerning midfielder Caspar Jander.
Perr Schuurs
On Saturday, former Ajax defender Perr Schuurs was spotted at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. The 26-year-old Dutch centre-back, who is a free agent after his contract with Torino was terminated, attended the Eredivisie match between Ajax and Fortuna Sittard at the invitation of the club, an arrangement made by Jordi Cruijff. Separately, FC Twente's technical director, Erik ten Hag, has previously praised the defender and stated he would be welcome at that club.
Marvin Young
Ajax has a strong interest in 20-year-old Sparta Rotterdam defender Marvin Young, according to a Saturday report from Dennis Kranenburg at FC Rijnmond. Young, who is regarded as a great talent, was previously pursued by PSV, but Sparta Rotterdam reportedly wants a significant fee for the player after an initial bid of three million euros from PSV in the summer of 2025 did not lead to a transfer. The Netherlands U21 international has made 22 appearances in the Eredivisie this season.
Caspar Jander
According to transfer journalist Florian Plettenberg on Wednesday, Ajax is interested in 22-year-old German midfielder Caspar Jander. The Southampton regular is reportedly being closely monitored by the Amsterdam club as he desires a move next summer. Plettenberg notes that RB Leipzig, VfB Stuttgart, and clubs from the Premier League are also interested, and estimates he will cost between fifteen and twenty-five million euros.
Christian Nørgaard
The Sun reported on Thursday that Ajax is tracking Arsenal midfielder Christian Nørgaard ahead of the summer transfer window. The 31-year-old Danish international has started just seven games this season, none of which have been in the Premier League, and this has reportedly led to interest from the Dutch club.
