Patrick Berg, the 28-year-old Norwegian captain of FK Bodo/Glimt and the Norwegian national team, has been linked with Ajax as the club's manager, Míchel Sánchez, seeks a technically skilled controlling midfielder with leadership qualities. Berg, who has been discussed internally at the Amsterdam club this summer and has been the subject of rumors for some time, is seen as a player who fits this profile. However, the chance of him moving to Ajax appears to be small. The defensive midfielder, who joined his current club in August 2022, has a contract until July 2028 and has earned 49 caps for Norway. In the current 2025/2026 Eliteserien season, he has scored 2 goals in 15 appearances. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €12.00m, and he has also been linked with clubs including Everton and Leeds United.
