After four and a half seasons, Remko Pasveer’s time at Ajax has come to an end. In his farewell interview, the goalkeeper looks back on his highlights and close friendships in Amsterdam. "I will definitely miss the boys."
"The goal is to reach a hundred." That is what Remko Pasveer said last summer when he extended his contract with Ajax by one season. He did it. More than that: after exactly one hundred matches for Ajax's first team, Pasveer heads east, to his boyhood club Heracles. The circle is complete.
Ajax, Heracles Almelo and Remko Pasveer have reached an agreement on the goalkeeper's immediate transfer to the club from Overijssel. Pasveer's contract with Ajax was due to run until June 30, 2026.
"Just go all out, and then we'll see. Although I do want to be important for the team, in whatever role that may be," Remko Pasveer said in May 2021. At the time, he was a brand-new Ajax player, 37 years old and freshly arrived from Vitesse. More than four years later, the experienced goalkeeper is on the brink of a milestone, and his role has turned out to be bigger than perhaps expected back then. Against Excelsior Maassluis, the Enschede-born keeper, now 42 years young, will play his 100th match for Ajax’s first team.
