Ajax and Kasper Dolberg ‘In Talks’ with Midtjylland About Return to Denmark
Ajax’s forward, Kasper Dolberg, is reportedly engaged in discussions with FC Midtjylland, a club from the Danish Superliga, concerning a potential move back to his home country. The 28-year-old player recently rejoined Ajax from Anderlecht on a four-year contract worth up to €10 million, yet his performance during the last season was disappointing.
Dolberg’s Underwhelming Season at Ajax
Throughout his first season back in Amsterdam, Dolberg managed to score only eight goals in 36 appearances across all competitions, including a mere three strikes in 22 league matches. His form significantly dipped during the latter half of the season, netting only two goals, with his last for Ajax occurring on January 28 against Olympiakos in the UEFA Champions League.
The Future of Ajax Under Jordi Cruyff
Under the guidance of Ajax’s technical director, Jordi Cruyff, the team is undergoing a significant overhaul, and Dolberg appears not to fit into Cruyff’s vision for a more competitive squad. As a result, his departure from the club seems imminent.
Midtjylland’s Interest and Dolberg’s Contractual Situation
According to Dutch publication De Telegraaf, FC Midtjylland has initiated talks with both Ajax and Dolberg regarding a possible transfer. The Danish club, which finished in second place behind AGF Aarhus, is actively seeking to bring Dolberg back to Denmark, where he last played for Silkeborg in 2016.
Contractual Obligations and Market Value
Despite the potential transfer, Dolberg is still under contract with Ajax until 2029. His current market value stands at €6.8 million according to Flashscore, indicating that any negotiations will need to consider both his worth and Ajax’s expectations for a potential sale.
