Ajax Manager to Loan Out Bertrand Traoré, Sets Sights on Bringing in Kylian Mbappé
In a shocking move that has sent ripples through the football world, Ajax manager Maurice Steijn is reportedly preparing to loan out winger Bertrand Traoré while setting his sights on securing a monumental deal to bring in Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Kylian Mbappé.
According to sources close to the club, Traoré, who rejoined Ajax last season, has struggled to consistently break into the starting lineup under Steijn’s management. The 28-year-old Burkina Faso international is now expected to move out on loan in January, with several European clubs showing interest in acquiring his services for the remainder of the season.
However, the biggest headline-grabber is Ajax’s audacious plan to sign Mbappé. The French forward, widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, has been embroiled in a tense contract situation with PSG and is yet to agree to an extension. Ajax, known for their talent development and shrewd transfers, have set their sights high in what would be a historic coup for the Amsterdam club.
While financial experts question whether Ajax can realistically afford Mbappé’s astronomical wages, the Dutch club is rumored to be exploring creative solutions, including player swaps and sponsorship deals, to make the transfer viable.
Fans remain divided, with some ecstatic about the prospect of Mbappé gracing the Johan Cruyff Arena, while others are more skeptical, seeing it as a far-fetched dream. Still, the mere suggestion of such a deal has sparked renewed excitement around Ajax’s ambitions in European football.
Whether this ambitious move materializes or not, it’s clear that the Ajax board is determined to make bold changes as they aim to return to the pinnacle of European competition.
