Ajax linked with high‑profile targets Kenneth Taylor and Marc‑André ter Stegen

Dutch club Ajax is the subject of two separate transfer rumours. Italian club Lazio, which paid €15 million to Ajax for midfielder Kenneth Taylor, is reportedly willing to sell the 24‑year‑old for at least €40 million, especially if a Premier League suitor meets the price. Ajax would benefit from a sell‑on clause that could deliver several million euros.

In a parallel rumor, German goalkeeper Marc‑André ter Stegen is said to be moving closer to a switch from Barcelona to Ajax. New Ajax coach Michel, who previously convinced the keeper to join Girona, is cited as a key advocate. Obstacles include the goalkeeper’s high salary and fitness concerns, but Ajax’s technical staff view him as a centerpiece for the club’s next project.
