The signing of Gaston Avila means a new Argentine has bound himself to Ajax. The defender transferred from the Belgian Royal Antwerp FC and took his first steps in professional football in his home country Argentina. Time to shine a light on the new player.
Ajax, Royal Antwerp FC and Gaston Avila have reached an agreement on the transfer of the defender to Ajax. The 21-year-old Argentine signed a contract that runs until June 30, 2028. Avila's contract at the Belgian club ran until 2027. Ajax will pay a € 12.5 million transfer fee to Royal Antwerp FC. This amount can increase to a maximum of € 14.5 million through variables.
The clubs have reached an agreement, and Josip Šutalo has also signed a five-year contract; the Croatian defender is officially an Ajax player.
