The French side will pay Ajax a sum worth €4 million for the left-back. With the World Cup coming up later this year, Nicolas Tagliafico will be keen on getting regular game time under his belt so that he can make it to the national team.

Ajax have signed Owen Wijndal as the replacement for Tagliafico. The talented youngster has signed a contract until 2027, and has already completed his move to the Eredivisie champions.

Ajax have also agreed the signings of Brian Brobbey from RB Leipzig, and Francisco Conceicao. Both the deals are set to be made official imminently. The Dutch side have also had several outgoings this summer, with Lisandro Martinez heading to Manchester United. Noussair Mazraoui and Ryan Gravenberch have joined Bayern Munich, while Sebastian Haller has joined Borussia Dortmund.
