Bergwijn, born in Amsterdam on October 8, 1997, joined Ajax from English club Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2022. He made his debut for the first team on July 31, 2022, in the match between Ajax and PSV for the Johan Cruijff Shield: 3-5. The Dutch international, who followed Ajax’s youth academy, played 80 official matches for the first team and scored 29 goals.
Technical director Alex Kroes said: "Steven and Ajax have made no secret of the fact that, if a good offer came from abroad, he would make the move. That has now happened at the last minute, giving the club the necessary financial flexibility to hopefully bring in a suitable replacement in the short term. We have wished our captain from last season much success in the next stage of his career."
