Ahmetcan Kaplan's Move to Trabzonspor Stalls as Ajax Holds Decision

Trabzonspor have reopened negotiations to bring back former defender Ahmetcan Kaplan, the 23‑year‑old left centre‑back who helped the club win the 2021‑22 Süper Lig title. The Turkish side has offered between €800,000 and €900,000, while reports say the player is seeking an annual salary of €1‑3 million. Ajax, the Dutch club that owns Kaplan’s registration, has not included him in its preseason squad and is said to be the decisive factor in the stalled deal. Sources indicate Kaplan has placed a “rest” on the transfer, effectively refusing to move until his terms are met, leaving the two clubs in ongoing talks.
