Kudos to Brighton - Kudus is on his way!

What a turnaround at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Those who are worthy have left or are leaving while those who do not really promise are putting pen to paper. Who knows what Ajax will look like next season, as it seems that they are at the beginning of the cycle of creating a new team that will not have many of the players from last season.

Dušan Tadić moved to Fenerbahçe, Jurren Timber joined Arsenal, Kalvin Bassey is the new Fulham player, and after two sweepers, two more players are preparing for the Premier League. It will bring a huge amount of money to the account of the Dutch club, although it seems logical that the fans of the team from Amsterdam are worried about the near future.

The information is such that Edson Alvarez and Mohammed Kudus already packed their bags for England, which will significantly weaken the midfield of the Amsterdaamers, because they will be left without important members.

First, on Saturday afternoon, the transfer of Alvarez to West Ham was agreed for a fixed price of 35,000,000 euros and another 5,000,000 euros in the form of a bonus. Interestingly, last year Ajax rejected Chelsea's offer worth 55,000,000 euros in one take, on the grounds that they needed the Mexican midfielder to reach the Champions League. As they did not succeed in this, they are now forced to sell. And for a smaller sum.

Alvarez will sign a contract for five years and will earn 9,000,000 euros gross per season.

Sporting director Sven Mislintat had already brought a replacement in the form of Bosnia and Herzegovina national team member Benjamin Tahirović from Roma. Now, whether the 20-year-old midfielder will play as well as Alvarez is another question.

With the West Ham deal finalized, the Ajax director began to sort out the status of Mohammed Kudus. And they quickly agreed with Brighton, and the 23-year-old offensive player, who is best behind the no.9 in the role of the second striker, and maybe also acts on the wing, will become the most expensive reinforcement in the history of the Seagulls.

Kudus will be sold for around 40,000,000 euros and thus surpass the transfer of Joao Pedro, since the Brazilian was paid 34,200,000 euros to Watford. Although he had offers from Chelsea and Arsenal, with whom he would fight for trophies and (or) a place in the Champions League, Kudus opted for Brighton, after a dialogue with Roberto De Zerbi, the Italian coach convinced him that he would be of crucial importance.

Brighton will get better with their acquisitions but what about Ajax? It is enough to look at the fact that, apart from Tahirović, only Carlos Borges from Manchester City's youth team, Eintracht goalkeeper Dinat Ramaj and Branco van den Bomen from Toulouse are signed so far. Not a stellar transfer window.
