Daniele Rugani and Jorthy Mokio made their official debuts for Ajax 1 on Thursday evening in the European return match against Jagiellonia Białystok. The latter, who at 16 years and 182 days became the youngest foreign debutant ever, was thrilled with his first minutes in the Amsterdam first team. "At first, I was a little nervous, but it actually went quite well."
Ajax have reached an agreement with Jorthy Mokio on the transfer of the 16-year-old central defender to Amsterdam. The Belgian signs a contract at Ajax that starts on July 1, 2024, lasting three years, until June 30, 2027. The transfer of Mokio is subject to a few formalities.
Ajax has reached an agreement with Juventus and Daniele Rugani on the direct loan of the centre-back. The loan of the Italian player will last for one season, until June 30, 2025.
Daniele Rugani is happy he can officially call himself an Ajacied since Wednesday. The Italian centre-back joins Ajax on loan from Juventus and can’t wait to play his first minutes in the white-red-white. "I couldn't sleep the past week, but now that I’m here it’s even more beautiful than I thought."
