Ajax Star to Club Brugge? Shock Transfer Deal Nears Completion!
Reports are flooding in that Carlos Forbs, the 21-year-old winger currently with Ajax, is on the verge of a move to Club Brugge. Negotiations between the two clubs are reportedly in the final stages, with Forbs himself awaiting the green light to make the switch.
The Deal Details: What's the Price?
Club Brugge initially made an offer last week, prompting Ajax to set an asking price of around €8 million, excluding bonuses. While the final fixed fee Ajax will receive is slightly lower, it's anticipated that the total package, including bonuses, will reach approximately €9 million. A sell-on percentage is also said to be part of the agreement.
Forbs' Disappointing Ajax Stint
Forbs' time at Ajax hasn't lived up to expectations. He was brought in by the now-departed director of football affairs, Sven Mislintat, for a hefty €14 million (excluding bonuses) from Manchester City. However, he struggled to make an impact in Amsterdam, and a loan spell at Wolverhampton Wanderers also proved unfruitful.
This potential transfer makes Forbs the sixth player likely to leave Ajax this summer, following in the footsteps of Jakov Medic, Borna Sosa, Kristian Hlynsson, Christian Rasmussen, and Jordan Henderson. Club Brugge are hoping Forbs will bring pace and attacking prowess to their squad.
What's Next?
While the deal isn't fully finalised, both Ajax and Club Brugge are keen to wrap things up quickly. This transfer could represent a fresh start for Forbs, offering him more playing time and an opportunity to revitalise his career in the Belgian Pro League.
