Bayern Munich Defender Hiroki Ito Attracts Interest from Ajax
Bayern Munich defender Hiroki Ito has been presented to Ajax by his management, as reported by Philipp Kessler. The Japanese international finds himself surplus to requirements under coach Vincent Kompany and could make a last-minute transfer to the Netherlands.
Ajax is evaluating a potential move for Ito to bolster their defense in their quest for the Dutch title, which they have not secured since 2022. Ito’s current contract with Bayern extends until 2028, and it appears unlikely that the 27-year-old will be offered an extension. According to TransferMarkt, Ito’s transfer value stands at approximately €18 million.
Notably, the Dutch transfer window remains open for an additional day beyond Germany’s, allowing Ajax to negotiate further after the Bundesliga’s Tuesday deadline.
