Ajax recently inquired about Dutch winger Steven Bergwijn's availability and the feasibility of a transfer, and other European clubs also recently made contact. Earlier in the week, it was reported that Al Ittihad was willing to sell the 28-year-old for a price lower than the €21 million they originally paid. However, transfer journalist Mounir Boualin now reports that Bergwijn is instead expected to extend his deal with the Saudi Pro League club by one or two years in the near future. This development comes despite a return to the Netherlands having been an option. Bergwijn has one year left on his contract. The Dutch international has 35 caps and 8 goals for his country, and his current market value is €10.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
