Ajax coach Míchel reprimands Gloukh as club confirms Newcastle transfer

During an open training session, Ajax head coach Míchel shouted at Israeli midfielder Oscar Gloukh, saying, "This is impossible, Oscar! Show mentality!" The incident followed Gloukh’s defensive lapse that led to a goal. The same session marked the return of veteran defender Daley Blind, who signed a new contract and joined the squad immediately for a camp in Garderen, preparing for a friendly against AEK Larnaca.

Ajax also announced the permanent transfer of 18‑year‑old midfielder Sean Steuris to Newcastle United. The Dutch club will receive a guaranteed €24 million, with performance‑related bonuses that could raise the total to €27 million.
