Ajax Pursues Goalkeepers Amid Costs
Ajax and Roefs
Ajax has shown interest in goalkeeper Robin Roefs, currently playing for Jong Oranje. The club from Nijmegen has reportedly set a transfer fee of approximately $4.4 million for the promising young player, who has caught the attention of various teams due to his impressive performance last season, including a record of ten clean sheets in 32 Eredivisie matches.
Current Situation
In a recent podcast, football analysts discussed Ajax's goalkeeper situation, highlighting that the club currently considers Roefs too expensive, which has led them to scale back their pursuit of him for the time being. Consequently, Ajax is now exploring other options to fill their goalkeeper position.
Potential Alternative: Jaros
Ajax seems to be shifting their focus toward Vitezslav Jaros, a goalkeeper connected with Liverpool. As the team's third-choice goalkeeper, his playing time remains uncertain, yet Jaros has attracted interest from multiple clubs. He has previously participated in two matches this season, but with limited game experience, his future remains in flux.
Future Developments
Ajax may consider the possibility of a loan arrangement for Jaros as they keep an eye on his development in training. Coach John Heitinga has had the opportunity to observe Jaros closely over the past season, which may aid in a potential integration into the team.
