Ajax Amsterdam has set its sights on Maximilian Ibrahimović, the son of Zlatan, who is currently honing his skills at AC Milan’s youth academy.
Details: According to Mercato Milan, the Italian club has already opened talks with the Rossoneri management and is considering a loan deal with an option to buy. Ajax sees Maximilian as the perfect fit for their philosophy, which emphasizes technical ability and the development of young talent at the highest level.
A move to Amsterdam could be a unique opportunity for Maximilian to step out of his famous father’s shadow and earn regular first-team minutes. The historical context makes this potential transfer especially symbolic: Ajax was the club that launched Zlatan Ibrahimović’s career in European football back in 2001.
Reports suggest this is a strategic call for Milan: sending Maximilian on loan with a buyout clause would foster his development, but there is a risk of losing a player with unique football DNA. At the same time, Zlatan’s presence at the club ensures that any decision will be made solely in the best interests of the young footballer’s career. For Ajax, it’s a blend of smart marketing and top-tier scouting.
Reminder: Ajax midfielder Kenneth Taylor has officially joined Lazio.
