Disgraced former Ajax chief Overmars has started a new role in football just six weeks after leaving his post in Amsterdam after the club admitted his ...

Ajax board chairman Leen Meijaard said at the time of Overmars' forced resignation: "This is a dramatic situation for everyone who is involved in any way. Antwerp's new owner Paul Gheysens is ambitious, though, and is said to consider Overmars' issues at Ajax a private matter. During his near 10-year tenure in Amsterdam he oversaw a successful strategy of promoting youth from the club's academy, helping them to win four Eredivisie titles along the way. The married 48-year-old admitted he was "ashamed" by his behaviour in a statement on Ajax's website confirming his departure. "What has happened at Ajax won't happen again", Overmars was quoted as saying by Belgian broadcaster Sporza. "I am glad to be here. Overmars had only recently penned a new deal with Ajax which committed him to the club until 2026 but hastily resigned from his post after news of the scandal went public.

Joel Veltman has become a regular for Brighton & Hove Albion this season - and more so in recent weeks following Dan Burn's Newcastle United transfer in ...

But Veltman is keen to push on again with Brighton after the fine start to the season has been punctured in recent weeks, with the run of defeats leaving the Seagulls 13th in the table with 33 points from 29 games, having been as high as ninth just a few weeks ago. But he has not always played in the same position for Brighton, featuring at right-back and in a back three as Potter has changed his formation at times during the course of the campaign. Thank you for subscribing!We have more newslettersShow meJoel Veltman says that his football education at Ajax is helping him to adapt to playing different positions and in different systems with Brighton. The 30-year-old Dutchman has become a key man for Graham Potter this season - and particularly so in recent weeks following the transfer of Dan Burn to Newcastle United in the January window.

Manchester United and Liverpool have discovered if they will be able to sign Ryan Gravenberch after the Ajax man reportedly decided on his next club.

He sees the German titans as the best club to further his development and emerge into a world-class player. Fabrizio Romano also provides an update on Gravenberch’s situation. Gravenberch’s contract expires in June 2023 and he has no intention of renewing. Cavani became a free agent that summer after opting to leave PSG at the end of his contract. The Netherlands international has told agent Mino Raiola to secure a move to the Allianz Arena. Due to this, Ajax will have to sell in the summer transfer window to get a premium fee.

A young Ajax fan was left disappointed after an adult swiped Antony's shirt following the win against Feyenoord.

Despite being admired by several top clubs, including Man United, Bayern Munich is the side that looks most poised to sign Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch.

Although the extent of United’s interest is not fully known, fans would certainly have been hoping for a positive outcome when it came to their team’s proposed pursuit of one of Europe’s most gifted midfielders. Although the likes of Manchester United and Barcelona were reportedly interested (Fichajes), it now appears that the 19-year-old’s next side will come in the form of Bayern Munich, who are believed to have stunned Ajax with such a large opening offer (Telegraaf). However, despite being one of Europe’s most highly-rated talents, as well as a product of Ajax’s own youth academy, Gravenberch is unlikely to sign a new deal and that has forced his employers to consider his sale.

Bayern Munich offered 25 million euros for Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, sources told De Telegraaf. The Amsterdam team indicated it wants 35 million ...

The German club's bid was lower than Ajax hoped because Gravenberch's contract expires in  2023, according to the newspaper. There will be more talks between the two clubs soon, but Bayern seems unwilling to increase its offer. With the midfielder's contract expiring next summer, Ajax runs the risk that if they reject Bayern's offer, Gravenberch will leave on a free transfer once his contract is up.
