K.R.C. Genk winger Noah Adedeji-Sternberg is back in the spotlight amid reports of a potential move to Ajax. The 21-year-old Belgian is seen by the Amsterdam club as a serious option to replace Mika Godts, should he leave for Paris Saint-Germain.
Why is Adedeji-Sternberg interesting to Ajax?
Adedeji-Sternberg, who made 37 official appearances for K.R.C. Genk last season, scored once and provided three assists. His versatility on both the left and right flank fits the profile Ajax are seeking. Genk are reportedly asking around €10 million for the speedy winger.
What does this mean for K.R.C. Genk?
With Club Brugge out of the race for Adedeji-Sternberg after agreeing a deal with RCD Mallorca for Jan Virgili, Ajax now have a clearer path to the player. Virgili, a 20-year-old Spaniard, cost Club Brugge approximately €12 million and signed a contract until mid-2030.
What are the next steps?
Ajax have previously shown interest in Adedeji-Sternberg and now see him as a more affordable alternative to Noa Lang, whose price tag is around €25 million. Meanwhile, PSG are preparing an improved bid of €50-55 million for Godts, while Ajax are holding out for €60-65 million.
