In early July, Ajax head coach Míchel publicly reprimanded midfielder Oscar Gloukh after the club confirmed the player’s pending transfer to Newcastle United, indicating disciplinary concerns amid transfer negotiations.

Later in the month, Gloukh delivered a decisive hat‑trick in Ajax’s 4‑1 second‑leg win over Serbian side FK Vojvodina at the Johan Cruyff Arena, completing an 8‑2 aggregate triumph. Vojvodina opened the scoring through Đorđe Crnomarković before Davy Klaassen equalised before halftime. Gloukh struck in the 53rd, 58th and 71st minutes, prompting Míchel to label him a “diamond”. The victory secured Ajax a seeded place for the play‑offs and set up a first‑leg tie against Shelbourne FC on 6 August.

The performance was praised by Dutch and Serbian media as “Oscar‑worthy”. Míchel highlighted the attacking display while reiterating the club’s need to strengthen the squad, confirming Ajax’s intent to sign goalkeeper Marc‑André ter Stegen and two midfielders, keeping recruitment plans active alongside Gloukh’s on‑field impact.
