A new adventure in the Netherlands for Sofyan Amrabat. The Moroccan international midfielder, now linked to Ajax Amsterdam until June 2028, aims to be part of the Dutch club's project and contribute to its return to prominence.

Sofyan Amrabat did not join Ajax Amsterdam just to turn a new page in his career. At 30 years old, the Moroccan midfielder is already expressing his ambitions with his new club and intends to help reclaim the heights for one of the historic teams in Dutch football.

Arriving on a free transfer after leaving Fenerbahçe, Amrabat signed a contract running until June 2028. In his first statements reported by Ajax's official media, the player showed particular enthusiasm about participating in the project led by the club.

Amrabat captivated by Ajax's project

The Moroccan's choice seems to have been influenced by the vision presented by Jordi Cruijff, Ajax's technical director, as well as by the sporting project of the coach.

Amrabat believes that the various elements gathered around the team can allow the club to build something solid. The midfielder now wants to be an active participant in this reconstruction and bring his experience to a squad that aims to regain top roles.

His speech reflects a clear desire: not to settle for a mere experience in the Dutch league, but to quickly aim for concrete results.

Initial contacts dating back to spring

Amrabat's arrival in Amsterdam is also the culmination of exchanges that began several months before the signing. The player indicated that his first contacts with Jordi Cruijff date back to April.

These discussions gradually allowed the project to take shape before the transfer was finalized after the end of his time at Fenerbahçe.

With his experience accumulated in several European leagues, the Moroccan international arrives at Ajax with a profile likely to bring more maturity to the midfield.

A clear ambition: to reclaim trophies

For Amrabat, the objective is now clearly defined. The player wants to participate in Ajax's sporting renaissance and aim for titles with the club.

This ambition gives a special dimension to his arrival. After a career marked by stints at several major European teams, the Moroccan embarks on a new chapter with the intention of contributing to the reclamation of a club whose history is closely linked to national and continental successes.

His contract until 2028 certainly offers him the opportunity to establish himself in the long term and become one of the experienced elements of the Ajax project.
