Director of Football Marijn Beuker: "We are very pleased with the arrival of Maximilian. He is a talented forward with a good sense of positioning in and around the penalty area, and he has strong goal-oriented finishing. He is skilful with his dribbling and, above all, has a great winner’s mentality and training attitude."

"He will initially mainly get his playing minutes with Ajax U23 and will regularly move between Ajax U23 and the first team during the season, so that he can get used to the higher level and the intensity of Ajax 1. Maximilian is a player with a lot of potential, and we hope that in time he can become a permanent part of Ajax 1’s attack."
