Ajax is in talks to sign Oscar Gloukh from Red Bull Salzburg, with technical director Alex Kroes leading negotiations. Ajax sees Gloukh as a top priority for the attacking midfield position after making financial room by offloading players. Previously interested in Gloukh before his Salzburg move, Ajax did not finalize a deal, allowing Salzburg to sign him from Maccabi Tel Aviv for 7 million euros. Now, Ajax aims to secure the 21-year-old Israeli international, who fits their needs under coach John Heitinga.
