Ajax are waiting for FIFA’s verdict on Kamaldeen Sulemana’s loan move after filing the necessary paperwork just 17 minutes before the transfer deadline, according to Dutch football journalist Mike Verweij.
Ajax have agreed on terms with Southampton to bring the Ghana winger on loan for the season, with an option to buy for 20 million euros.
However, the timing of the submission has left Ajax uncertain if the deal will be confirmed.
Kamaldeen Sulemana joined Southampton in January 2023 from French side Rennes for a fee of around 25 million euros.
The 22-year-old made 44 appearances for the Saints, scoring twice and providing four assists.
Despite his potential, recurring injuries limited his impact, with Sulemana missing 18 games last season and yet to feature in the Premier League this term.
Sulemana’s move to Ajax comes after the departure of Steven Bergwijn to Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, which freed up space for the winger.
This transfer is seen as an opportunity for Sulemana to reignite his career, having struggled for consistency in recent seasons.
With the transfer window now closed, Ajax’s hopes of adding Sulemana to their ranks hinge on FIFA’s decision.
The club and its fans are eagerly waiting to see if the paperwork was submitted in time to finalize the deal.
