DBasia.news – Ajax are now full of young talented players, threatening them to lose the players in the near future. Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs De Light are two young stars that often rumored leaving next season.
Ajax Sporting Director Marc Overmars revealed that they have the short-term plan.
“Before, players stayed at Ajax until there were 24, 25 or 26, but that’s history now. It’s over. Now, when they’re 20 or 21, the best talent leaves,” Overmars said.
“You’re never going to keep a team together for very long. You’re always obliged to start to build a new team. Ajax’s objective is to remain among the best 16 teams in Europe,” he continued.
Overmars admits that it’s difficult to hinder the players from growing. So, one of the beneficial solutions is to sell the player in a high price while expecting for another great player from their own academy.
