According to Algemeen Dagblad, Ajax and Vélez Sarsfield are in advanced negotiations for Maher Carrizo, but some obstacles still exist. The publication also states that Ajax is in a leading position, which is partly because the player prefers Amsterdam. De Telegraaf and Voetbal International report that Carrizo is set to be Raúl Moro's successor at the Johan Cruijff Arena. Voetbal International also reports that the fee is now approximately ten million, whereas Vélez Sarsfield had demanded twelve million earlier this winter.

Ajax is competing to sign 19-year-old Velez Sarfield winger Maher Carrizo, who is also the subject of strong interest from FC Midtjylland. According to reports, Jordi Cruijff, who is set to begin as technical director at the Dutch club, is a significant advocate for acquiring Carrizo. In January 2026, reports indicated FC Midtjylland made an offer of up to €11 million, while Vélez Sarsfield's asking price was cited as being approximately €14 million.
