Ajax, under trainer John Heitinga, is interested in signing Eduard Spertsyan this summer. Spertsyan has been a top candidate for Ajax for several years. Two years ago, a transfer was blocked by the Ajax Supervisory Board due to moral objections to dealing with a Russian club. Spertsyan has impressed with 11 goals and 7 assists in 28 matches last season. His contract with Krasnodar runs until the summer of 2026, making this summer a critical time for a potential transfer. Ajax may be able to negotiate the price down as Spertsyan is not open to a contract extension in Russia.
