il mid-2027 – will have to dig deeper into their pockets. The asking price of the Englishman is said to be around ten million euros.”
It says that there is also interest from the German Bundesliga in the right wing defender who “has a special career path.”
The report says that Ajax is also keeping a close eye on Van Ewijk, claiming: “After Tristan Gooijer left on loan to PEC Zwolle, Francesco Farioli has Devyne Rensch and Anton Gaaei at his disposal for the right back position. Rensch is said to be on the list to leave due to his contract situation, the 21-year-old’s contract runs until mid-2025, in order to receive a transfer fee for the young exponent. Farioli does not see a starting place for Gaaei in the offing, which is why the Amsterdammers are looking for reinforcements.”
The report states that it is “still questionable” whether Ajax can or wants to meet the asking price, and says that the club will first have to sell before it can make a purchase.
The story further adds: “Feyenoord is also interested in Van Ewijk. Under Brian Priske, the Rotterdammers play in a formation with wingbacks, which seems to be tailor-made for the current right back of Coventry City. However, the Rotterdammers are well occupied in this position with Bart Nieuwkoop, Givairo Read, Marcus Pedersen and even Lutsharel Geertruida who can play there. In all probability, space will first have to be made available in the selection to make the arrival of Van Ewijk possible.”
Verdict: There is no suggestion that City have any interest in selling Van Ewijk after just 12 months at the club, although a concrete offer for the figures stated might test the City’s resolve for a player they paid a reported £3.4m for last summer. Mark Robins, meanwhile, is already short of natural cover and competition for the right-back position, which Van Ewijk has made his own since his arrival at the CBS Arena. It would therefore take a huge offer for City to entertain any interest.
