Souffian El Karouani Transfer from FC Utrecht to Ajax
Ajax has an interest in Souffian El Karouani but is unwilling to pay a transfer fee for him this winter. According to club watcher Mike Verweij of De Telegraaf, Jordi Cruijff has blocked a winter transfer for El Karouani. Beuker and Kroes viewed El Karouani as a suitable left back. It was stated that four million euros would not be paid for a player who will be available on a free transfer in four months. A possibility exists that Ajax could approach El Karouani with a signing bonus after the season.
According to Voetbalprimeur.nl, Souffian El Karouani is being strongly considered by Ajax.
De Telegraaf reported that Souffian El Karouani was one of five players considered by Ajax to strengthen the left-back position this transfer window.
Souffian El Karouani is a target for Ajax for the left-back position. According to Mike Verweij, the chances of El Karouani becoming the new left-back for Ajax are small because the player has better options.
According to De Telegraaf, Ajax is considering the possibility of buying Souffian El Karouani. El Karouani has impressed at FC Utrecht and has provided nine assists in the Eredivisie, making him the competition's leader in assists.
René van der Gijp stated that Souffian El Karouani would be a reinforcement for Ajax, mentioned that El Karouani is almost a free agent, and said that the player could easily play for all three top clubs, referring to Ajax, Feyenoord, and PSV.
Souffian El Karouani, a 25-year-old left-back for FC Utrecht, is reportedly being considered by Ajax, according to Tim van Duijn of Voetbal International. On AT5's Kale en Kokkie, Van Duijn, who is a journalist covering Ajax, stated that the player is on a long list. Any potential arrival is conditional upon Owen Wijndal's departure, as his high salary would need to be removed from the wage bill first. A transfer is also complicated by Wijndal's repeated declarations of his desire to stay in Amsterdam and compete for his position. El Karouani's contract with Utrecht is set to expire at the end of the season, and there has been no update on a possible extension. The Moroccan international has five caps for his country. He was previously linked with transfers to PSV and Spartak Moscow, but those transfers were not completed. In the Eredivisie this season, he has 2 goals and 8 assists in 13 appearances. His current market value is €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
