Ajax has secured the services of Benjamin Tahirovic from AS Roma in a deal worth approximately €8.5 million.
The 20-year-old central midfielder has been the subject of transfer speculation as Roma sought to raise funds to meet their Financial Fair Play obligations.
Ajax outpaced other interested clubs to emerge as the frontrunner for Tahirovic’s signature, although they have not released any official statements regarding other clubs’ interests. After completing the scheduled medical examinations in Amsterdam, Tahirovic is poised to sign a long-term contract with Ajax next week.

This signing aligns with Ajax’s ongoing commitment to constructing a competitive squad capable of contending for domestic and European honors.
