Ajax’s scouting chief, Kelvin De Lang, has confirmed that the Dutch powerhouse is evaluating several players to bolster its squad. Among the names discussed is Anton Miranchuk, though the club is not actively pursuing a deal at this moment.
De Lang emphasized that there is nothing specific to report. He explained that Ajax has been surveying market options and reviewing a wide pool of players to determine what might best fit the team’s plans in the near term.
Anton Miranchuk, 28, became a free agent this summer after his contract with Lokomotiv Moscow expired. He remains without a club and could secure a new team in Russia within a short window after the current transfer period closes on September 12.
Miranchuk is an alumnus of Lokomotiv Moscow, a club with a notable history domestically, including national championships and several domestic cup successes. His career with Lokomotiv has included cup triumphs and a Russian Super Cup, underscoring his experience at a high level of competition.
The former head coach of the Russian national team has suggested that factors in Southeast Asia, specifically Vietnam and Thailand, could present challenges for players and clubs considering transfers during certain periods, though no concrete plans involving Miranchuk have been disclosed. The landscape of international football transfers continues to be influenced by timing, league calendars, and market demand, making each potential move a careful calculation for players and clubs alike.
