Ajax has officially sold winger Steven Bergwijn to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad for €21 million, marking a significant transfer on the final day of the Dutch summer transfer window. Bergwijn, who struggled to secure a regular starting position at Ajax after joining from Tottenham for €30 million, expressed satisfaction with the move, stating he had to prioritize his career. The transfer not only affects Bergwijn, who has 35 caps for the Netherlands, but also provides Ajax with financial flexibility to pursue new signings, including the potential acquisition of Kamaldeen Sulemana from Southampton. Technical director Alex Kroes confirmed that a good offer would lead to a transfer, which has now occurred at the last moment. Despite a disappointing deadline day for Feyenoord, Bergwijn's move is seen as a positive step for both the player and the club as they enter a new phase.
