Jorrel Hato (Ajax)
July 2025
Ajax defender Jorrel Hato requested not to play in the Como Cup final amid Chelsea interest. The 19-year-old wants to avoid injury risk with a potential move to the Premier League club under serious negotiation.
Chelsea and Ajax remain apart on valuation. The Blues bid around £35m, while Ajax hold out for £52m. Talks are ongoing. Hato’s decision to sit out the match signals intent to push for the move. He’s considered one of Europe’s top young defensive prospects.
