Ajax has engaged in several player acquisitions through loan agreements. In late August, the club reached an agreement with Udinese to sign 17-year-old French midfielder Abdoulaye Camara on a one-season loan, which includes an option for a permanent transfer. Camara, a former Udinese youth captain, is expected to join Jong Ajax.

Following this, Ajax completed the signing of 24-year-old Ivorian winger Simon Adingra on a season-long loan from Sunderland AFC. The deal includes a purchase option reportedly valued at approximately €15.9 million, with Ajax expected to pay a loan fee and salary totaling roughly €3.8 million. Adingra, who has previously played for Brighton & Hove Albion and AS Monaco, cited conversations with former Sunderland teammate Brian Brobbey—who described Ajax as ‘his home’—and his admiration for Mohammed Kudus as influences on his decision. Adingra is currently recovering from a minor injury and is expected to be fit for action within a few weeks. His arrival follows other recent moves for the club, including the signings of Thilo Kehrer and Caio Henrique.
