Youri Baas, a 23-year-old Dutch centre-back, may leave Ajax for a fee of more than twenty million euros. Baas is described as a key asset. Ajax prefers to keep quality players like Baas, who joined the club in January 2023 and is under contract until June 2028, but it is considered difficult if attractive clubs from top competitions make serious bids. Ajax cannot compete in terms of salaries. Transfermarkt estimates Baas' value at 20 million euros. If Ajax ends the month without European football, selling academy-trained players like Baas could help cover a significant budget gap and create a transfer budget. Several Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, have previously been linked with the player.
