Brian Brobbey (Ajax)
August 2025
Rennes are nearing a €25m deal for Ajax striker Brian Brobbey, including bonuses and resale clauses. Ajax, struggling financially, appear ready to sanction his exit despite his contract running until 2027, allowing the forward to decide his next move before the window shuts. Brobbey’s departure would offer Ajax vital market flexibility after failed pursuits of midfielders Andres, Martin, and Morton. Re-signed from Leipzig in 2022, he delivered seven goals last season but has attracted Bundesliga and Serie A interest. Rennes are now frontrunners, awaiting Brobbey’s final decision.
