Overview
- Reports say Amrabat has verbally agreed to join Ajax as a free agent and that Fenerbahçe has mutually ended his contract, though formal confirmation and signed paperwork remain outstanding.
- Ajax would acquire a veteran central midfielder without paying a transfer fee, addressing a gap left after Edson Álvarez’s departure.
- The new free‑agent claim conflicts with earlier accounts that Amrabat joined Fenerbahçe on July 1, 2025 for a reported fee of about €12 million on a deal believed to run until June 2028.
- Amrabat is a 30‑year‑old Morocco international with more than 78 caps, a 2022 World Cup breakout and a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations winners’ medal, and his club resume includes Utrecht, Feyenoord, Club Brugge, Fiorentina, Manchester United (loan), Real Betis (loan) and Fenerbahçe.
- Next steps are clear: Ajax, Fenerbahçe or Amrabat must publish contract paperwork or club statements to confirm the transfer and clarify any financial or legal terms before the move is final.
