Lamine Camara (22) is currently undergoing a medical ahead of a move to Chelsea from Monaco before the transfer deadline, according to a report from Fabrizio Romano. As reported by RMC Sport, the Premier League club have reached an agreement in the region of €50m plus bonuses to sign the Senegalese international midfielder before the transfer window closes.
Chelsea had been in negotiations with Les Monégasques throughout deadline day to sign the 22-year-old as they searched for a replacement for Enzo Fernández (25), who looks set to join Manchester City for a record-equalling British fee of £125m. The Côte d'Azur outfit originally commanded a fee in the region of €70m, due to their lack of need to sell with Folarin Balogun seemingly joining Everton. However, after the USMNT forward failed his medical, the club have been forced to negotiate with the Blues at a much lower price in order to raise funds before the end of the window. Everything now points towards Camara joining the Blues.

Xabi Alonso is at Stamford Bridge with the Blues. Chelsea have reached a full agreement with AS Monaco to sign midfielder Lamine Camara, according to Santi Aouna.
Following intensive discussions, Chelsea made a breakthrough by submitting a revised offer worth €55 million to secure the deal.
The 22-year-old Senegal international, eager to play in the Premier League, has verbally agreed to a six-year contract at Stamford Bridge with an option for a further year.
Monaco were ready to hold on to Camara, but circumstances changed dramatically on deadline day.
After a proposed €50 million sale of striker Folarin Balogun to Everton collapsed due to a failed medical, Monaco needed to sanction a major sale to meet financial targets. Chelsea capitalised, stepping in with an improved offer that matched Monaco's valuation.

Manchester City have completed the signing of Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye in a deal worth up to £65 million.
The Senegal international has signed a five-year contract at the Etihad after spending the past two seasons with Everton, where he made 74 appearances and scored 21 goals.
City will pay £60m up front, with a further £5m available in add-ons. The 26-year-old arrives with plenty of Premier League experience and can operate either on the wing or through the middle, giving Enzo Maresca another versatile attacking option.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tacko Fall is back in the NBA.
The Philadelphia 76ers announced on Tuesday that they have invited the towering 7-foot-6 Fall to training camp later this month.
Fall, 30, last played in the NBA with Cleveland during the 2021-22 season. He's spent the last four years playing internationally, averaging 11.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 18.1 minutes while competing in China and New Zealand.
The Senegal native played in 37 games for Boston and Cleveland from 2020-22.
The Sixers, who signed LeBron James and traded for Jaylen Brown in the offseason, are inexperienced at center behind Joel Embiid, with 23-year-old Adem Bona and 24-year-old Ariel Hukporti as the other two centers on the roster.

Juventus have announced the arrival of Pape Matar Sarr from Tottenham on an initial loan while also agreeing a season-long loan deal for Newcastle forward Nick Woltemade.
The Serie A club will pay Spurs about 2.5m euros (£2.1m) for the loan of Senegal midfielder Sarr.
The club confirmed the deal includes an obligation to buy the 23-year-old for 27.5m euros (£23.6m) if certain conditions are met during the 2026-27 season.
Sarr, who joined Spurs from Metz in 2021, made more than 100 Premier League appearances for the north London club and also helped them win the Europa League in 2025.
He has made 42 appearances for Senegal since his international debut in 2021 and won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2022.

Richarlison has opened the door for an emotional return to Everton but warned "never again will anyone decide my future for me" in a thinly-veiled dig on social media.
Spurs entered talks with Everton on Sunday night over the proposed transfer of Toffees' attacker Iliman Ndiaye and separate discussions occurred over Richarlison going back to his old club, before Manchester City struck a deal to sign the Senegalese star.

Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi claimed on Saturday night that Richarlison had been left out of the matchday squad for the 2-0 home loss to Newcastle because "too many times he asked to leave", but the Brazil forward has seemingly responded in a story on his Instagram page.
"After everything I've been through in the last few years, I've decided that never again will anyone decide my future for me," Richarlison said on Instagram.

It has been a busy day in terms of transfer talk surrounding Manchester City. At the beginning of today, it seemed that City would pursue a move to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool. However, that move has fallen through, which has seen City shift their focus onto other targets. Everton's versatile winger Iliman Ndiaye is now the player that Manchester City want to add more quality and depth to their attack. It is now reported that City have landed the Senegalese international.
David Ornstein has reported for The Athletic that Manchester City and Everton are close to reaching an agreement that will see Iliman Ndiaye become a City player. Ornstein reports that City and Everton are in the process of finalising a total package worth £65 million for the Senegalese winger.
Manchester City look to have found the attacker they needed to cover the loss of Omar Marmoush. Iliman Ndiaye will be the player tasked with adding a different dimension to Manchester City's attack. As a player, Ndiaye will add tremendous ability in one-on-one situations to the City attack. Ndiaye excels at taking on defenders and his strong dribbling ability is a key ***** et to his play. That is a quality that Enzo Maresca wants in his wingers. Ndiaye will bring that in spades as the statistics below illustrate.
On top of his ability to beat a man with his dribbling, Iliman Ndiaye can play on either wing or through the middle. That versatility will be a weapon that Maresca will tap into. Also, Iliman Ndiaye looks to be a player who is ready to make the jump up to a club like City. He has thrived and grown playing at Sheffield United and Everton in England. Now his big move has come and it will be fascinating to see how Ndiaye fares as a City player.
Manchester City have seemingly got the attacking player they desperately needed in Iliman Ndiaye. Everton's Senegalese international will add a different element and dimension to Manchester City's attacking play. Also, City's pivot from seemingly moving to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool to Iliman Ndiaye has come off. A busy day has finally reached a conclusion and the City squad will be stronger with the addition of Iliman Ndiaye.

Juventus have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to sign midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, according to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano.
The 'talented' Senegal international will join Juventus in a deal worth up to €30 million, starting with an initial loan that includes an option to buy.
However, the option to buy will become mandatory if certain performance-related conditions are met, such as Juventus qualifying for the Champions League and Sarr reaching set appearance targets during the campaign.
Talks between the clubs accelerated after Sarr requested a new challenge away from North London.
The midfielder faced increased competition for places under Roberto De Zerbi following the additions of moves for Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.

The latest reports on Monday indicate that Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur now have an agreement in place for the transfer of central midfielder Pape Matar Sarr, who is set to join the Bianconeri on loan with a potential obligation to buy.
According to the latest updates from Sky Sport Italia, Tottenham have now given their green light for Sarr to travel over to Italy to complete his transfer to Juventus.

Juve have moved quickly to secure the Senegal international after learning that Franck Kessie had decided to return to Atalanta rather than join Luciano Spalletti in Turin.
According to Sky, Juventnus will pay a total of €30m between the cost of the loan fee and the buy clause **** uming that Sarr's transfer is made permanent. The obligation to buy will be triggered in the event of Europa League qualification and is Sarr appears in at least 50% of the team's matches in 2026-27.

#TOTTENHAM

Another day, another suitor for Iliman Ndiaye. In today's version, it's Tottenham Hotspur who have reached an agreement in principle with Everton for the Senegal international for a fee of about £60 million.
In his comments yesterday after Spurs sunk to their second consecutive league defeat to start the season, Roberto De Zerbi indicated that Richarlison had asked to leave the club 'many times', and now that will be allowed with a move to the Toffees accepted for about £35 million.
There had been a hue and cry when Everton had been forced to sell Richarlison quickly to Spurs a few years ago for £60m to balance the books at the end of the financial year, when his performances saving Everton from relegation demanded more. Now it looks like the Toffees are selling another forward in his prime for lower than his market value, and to add insult to injury, are overpaying for the Brazilian to return too given how his career has tailed off with injuries and the like.
As of this afternoon the Toffees appear to still be working on a loan for Jack Grealish, close to making a move for right back Kenny Tete from Fulham, and also have an interest in USMNT striker Folarin Balogun. Beto appears to be headed to Fiorentina and Adam Aznou on loan to Malaga.
This latest round of transfer rumours basically indicates that Everton are shifting into "win now" mode with adding older, Premier League-proven players. The concern will be that at the end of the year with David Moyes' contract up, the next manager could get saddled with the debt.

Tottenham have reached an agreement with Everton to sign Iliman Ndiaye, with Richarlison set to move in the opposite direction, according to The Athletic.
Ndiaye is set to leave Goodison Park, with the Senegal international now closing in on a move to Tottenham for around £60m.
Richarlison, meanwhile, will return to Everton in a £35m deal, having previously spent four years at the club before joining Spurs in 2022.
Everton have also decided against selling Harrison Armstrong to Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, according to The Telegraph.
The midfielder had been the subject of a bid from Forest, but Everton have now opted to keep hold of the 19-year-old.

#ndiaye #forest #meanwhile #Athletic

Well, this is something to wake up to. According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, overnight Tottenham Hotspur and Everton reached an agreement to essentially swap attackers — bringing Ilman Ndiaye to Spurs, with Richarlison returning to Everton heading the other direction. This is NOT a true swap deal; these will be treated as separate transfers.
In yesterday's post-match press conference, Spurs head coach Roberto De Zerbi essentially told us that Richarlison asked to leave Spurs for a new challenge. I just didn't realize it would all go down so quickly. According to Paul Joyce of The Times, Ndiaye will cost Spurs about £60m, with Richarlison heading the other direction for a fee of £35m, making the outlay a lot lower than most transfers that Spurs have brought in this summer.
Ndiaye, 26, is a French fooballer who has declared for and plays international football for Senegal. He's been used primarily on the left wing for Everton, but can also play centrally or on the right. He's NOT a striker but could be implemented as a #10 if needed. Ndiaye likes to be on the ball and frequently prefers to take on and dribble past his defenders, which frequently turns into touches in the penalty area and shots. He likes to cut inside from the flank and is also comfortable receiving the ball deeper as a ball progression outlet. His acquisition means that Spurs will essentially only have three first team strikers on the books — Omar Marmoush, Dominic Solanke, and Dane Scarlett — but Ndiaye will fortify Spurs' attacking midfield options. His preferred position at Everton will put him in competition with Mathys Tel and Savinho, but his positional flexibility means he could be an ***** et elsewhere as well. He's also a willing presser and capable of putting in defensive work to make tackles. Despite maybe hinting otherwise yesterday, I'm kind of a fan of this deal.
As for Richarlison… well, I'm sad. He's probably my favorite Spurs player (non-Sonny edition) of this era. He's a vibes guy who always seemed to lift the mood, and it's clear he loved Spurs. But it's just as clear that he's not happy here anymore, and as his career starts to wind down a return to the club that lifted him to stardom feels like the closing of the circle. Everton fans love him as much as we do, and I can't begrudge them, or him, this move. It feels like the right choice.
What do you think of this deal? Can Spurs get it across the line before the window closes on September 2?

Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement in principle to sign Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye, according to The Athletic.
Spurs striker Richarlison is also set to return to his former club in a separate move. The deals are not connected.
Both remain subject to personal terms and medicals as Tottenham look to complete a major overhaul of their attacking options before the transfer window closes.
Ndiaye emerged as a key target for Spurs after their pursuit of Cody Gakpo stalled.
Several Premier League giants had also shown interest in the Senegal international but he is now on his way to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Despite strong links with a move to Chelsea, Lamine Camara is expected to start for AS Monaco against Olympique de Marseille on Sunday night.
The Senegal international may not be a Monaco player come Tuesday, but he is expected to start alongside Denis Zakaria. Meanwhile, another player linked with an exit, Folarin Balogun, is out. He has yet to return to fitness since his return from the FIFA World Cup. Ansu Fati is also out injured, whilst Takumi Minamino and Mohamed Salisu are building up their fitness after suffering ACL injuries last season.
Up front, Filipe Luís has a decision to make. The Brazilian may opt for the in-form Paris Brunner over Mika Biereth. Eric Dier, who had looked like one of those most likely to leave earlier in the summer, is once again expected to start in defence.

JOHANNESBURG: A top State Department official has hit out at China for what **** ysts are calling "the China shock wave" effect now crippling African economies.
African manufacturing is reportedly being battered by a surge of Chinese imports. It's a triple whammy — China takes raw materials, including critical minerals, from the continent and floods Africa with state-subsidized products. And Beijing isn't importing anywhere near an equal amount of African products.
The China Global South Project reported that in 2025, Chinese exports to Africa hit $225 billion in value, whereas imports from Africa were roughly only half that — $123 billion.

PSG winger Ibrahim Mbaye (18) has eventually agreed to join Aston Villa, after the two clubs had thrashed out a €55m deal for the transfer of the Senegal international, according to RMC Sport. The player is expected to fly out to Birmingham this Saturday to undergo a medical and complete final formalities to sign for Unai Emery's UEFA Europa League winners. Mbaye is set to sign a five-year deal with the Villans.
RMC Sport understands that Aston Villa were long-time admirers of Mbaye. The Premier League side gradually made their interest known, until an agreement was found this Friday with PSG. RB Leipzig, Chelsea and Liverpool were also interested in making a move for Mbaye. The Reds withdrew from the race after PSG's initial demands approached €70m. Eventually, Aston Villa's outlay for Mbaye rises to €55m.

Pape Matar Sarr hasn't been seen in a Tottenham shirt since preseason and there are plenty of rumors that both he and the club are looking for an exit from N17. According to Sky Sports France's Sascha Tavolieri, the club making a late push for Sarr is none other than our good friends Nottingham Forest.
Previous rumors suggested that Sarr had preferred a move to Monaco, which as a French speaking Senegalese dude makes a ton of sense and would be a good move for him. Tavolieri writes that the Monaco interest is real, but unlikely to happen before the last week of the season and is contingent on Monaco offloading American striker Folarin Balogun first. But staying in the Premier League would have its advantages as well.
The whole kerfluffle over Morgan Gibbs-White last summer seemingly hasn't dimmed Tottenham's relationship with Forest THAT much if they're still considering a a deal. A loan plus an option isn't the best outcome for Tottenham, but it beats keeping Sarr around if he's not going to play that much, which feels like the case. Honestly, Forest wouldn't be a terrible club for Sarr to land at — he's likely going to get more playing time there and Oliver Glasner is a pretty good coach with good midfield ideas. No guarantee that Forest's mobster-boss owner Evangelos Marinakis wouldn't sack Glasner in a fit of rage after three consecutive losses, either.
Tavolieri writes that Spurs are asking €25m (£21.5m) for Sarr, which is what caused Galatasaray to back down after they offered €18m. That's well within the budgets of both Monaco and Forest (especially Forest). It could come down to where Sarr ultimately wants to go. But at this point it's looking very likely that he WILL go. Somewhere.

Liverpool are still pursuing Ismaila Sarr, despite seeing an initial offer of around £50m rejected by Crystal Palace.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola wants to bring in three more players before the end of the transfer window, including two who can operate in wide positions. One of those will be France winger Bradley Barcola, after PSG accepted an offer of £100m plus £20m in potential add-ons for the 23-year-old.
And while Liverpool have moved on from Yankuba Minteh following Brighton's resistance, The Independent understands the club are not yet discouraged from a deal to bring in Sarr.
The 28-year-old Senegal international is comfortable playing on the right wing, a crucial area of the field for Liverpool to strengthen following the summer exit of Mohamed Salah.
If Liverpool bring in their targets then Cody Gakpo could still depart before the deadline on Tuesday. Gakpo has been the subject of interest from Tottenham, and The Independent understands Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi is insistent that the club pursue the Dutchman, despite a summer outlay already in excess of £300m.

Aston Villa are on the verge of signing Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that personal terms between the player's camp and the club are nearly finalised. Aston Villa have now entered official club-to-club negotiations with Chelsea, with Unai Emery personally pushing the deal forward. The total package on the table exceeds £60 million. Jackson, 25, is not part of new Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso's plans after returning from a season-long loan at Bayern Munich.
This isn't panic buying. Jackson spent the 2025/26 season at Bayern, scoring 8 goals in 23 Bundesliga appearances and contributing 3 goals and 2 ***** ists across 10 Champions League matches. He also scored twice for Senegal at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. A regular in Senegal's 2026 World Cup campaign too. He has proven he can function at the highest level.
Chelsea want him gone. That changes the negotiation entirely.
At £60m, Villa are acquiring a Premier League-tested, Champions League-experienced centre-forward who is 25 years old. The market for that profile is brutal right now, so the fee isn't outrageous; it's the going rate.

Xabi Alonso and Unai Emery are at Stamford Bridge and at Villa Park, respectively. Aston Villa have submitted a formal €70 million bid to Chelsea for striker Nicolas Jackson, with the Blues reportedly close to accepting the offer, according to transfer reporter Santi Aouna.
Villa have stepped up their search for a new centre-forward ahead of the transfer deadline, with current striker Ollie Watkins attracting interest from Saudi Arabian clubs and potentially set to depart.
With a club-to-club agreement close, Villa's attention now turns to finalising personal terms with Jackson. The Senegal international has been linked with several clubs across Europe, including Napoli and Atletico Madrid, with the latter recently having a loan bid rejected.
Since joining Chelsea from Villarreal in 2023, Jackson has displayed pace, effective link-up play, and strong ball-carrying, though his finishing has been inconsistent. He spent last season on loan at Bayern Munich, scoring 11 goals in 34 appearances.
Chelsea are keen to part ways with Jackson this summer, preferring an outright sale or a loan with an obligation to buy.

Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye is reportedly an option for Tottenham Hotspur should they miss out on Cody Gakpo. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club have completed the signing of Brazilian attacker Savinho from Manchester City this morning. Spurs are also closing in on his former teammate Omar Marmoush, but manager Roberto De Zerbi wants one more attacker. While Gakpo has been targeted for most of the summer, the Dutchman is also on the radar of Man City.
The Lilywhites have contingency plans in place should City move ahead of them in the pursuit of the Liverpool star. Ndiaye has emerged as an option for Tottenham, but City are also keeping an eye on the Everton star. AC Milan's Rafael Leao remains on Spurs' radar also, and other attackers on being monitored should they miss out on Gakpo.
Ndiaye has proven himself in the Premier League and he is also attracting the likes of Manchester United and Saudi Pro League clubs. Everton are desperate to hold on to him and will demand at least €80 million from suitors to sell the 26-year-old. ******* nal also have the Tottenham target on their radar, and a move to North London could be on the cards for the Senegalese international. Ndiaye has three years remaining on his current Toffees contract, and there is no exit clause in it. Everton have been looking to get the him to sign a new deal but their efforts have yielded no results. Ndiaye is insisting on an exit clause that could be triggered as early as this summer included in the new deal before reaching an agreement.

Chelsea and Real Sociedad have reached an agreement over Mamadou Sarr's (20) loan move to the Basque side, according to Foot Mercato. The Senegalese international centre-back's loan move includes no option to buy. Sarr joined Chelsea from BlueCo-owned Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg in a €14m deal in the 2025 summer transfer window. Sarr was then allowed to spend the following campaign on loan at Strasbourg, until Chelsea recalled him in February.
Sarr only featured seven times for the Blues. The former Olympique Lyonnais Academy graduate has been allowed to leave Xabi Alonso's Chelsea side this summer with the Blues recruiting Maxence Lacroix from Premier League rivals Crystal Palace FC. Foot Mercato understands that Alonso, a former Real Sociedad midfielder, has proved instrumental in convincing Sarr to join the Basque side.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Six people who were deported by the United States to Liberia last week resisted getting off the plane and instead were sent to Equatorial Guinea, another ‌African nation that signed a third-country deportation agreement with the Trump administration, a person on the plane and a lawyer in contact with the six said Monday.
Under a series of often secret agreements, the Trump administration has deported thousands of people to two dozen countries that aren't their own as it pushes ahead with its immigration crackdown, advocates say. Immigration lawyers say the practice is being used as a legal loophole to indirectly return some asylum seekers to countries they fled.
The group who refused to get off the plane in Liberia on Thursday include four Cuban men, a Brazilian man and a Cameroonian woman, the person and lawyer said.
A Honduran deportee aboard the flight said the group refused to disembark, saying Liberia was "not their country" and that they would face danger there. They were then separated from the others, he said. He spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals.
He said the other passengers got off in Liberia because they feared officers would force them.

Liverpool are reportedly planning a surprise late-window raid on one winger with an annoyingly excellent record against the Reds.
Andoni Iraola's team begin their Premier League season away to Newcastle today, with the fixture coming just nine days before the summer transfer deadline as the opportunity for recruitment narrows by the day.
The Merseysiders have seen two bids rejected for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh over the past 72 hours, the most recent of which was £60m (Sky Sports), although there's seemingly another wide attacker from the English top flight on their radar.
According to Turkish reporter Nevzat Dindar (via Forza Cimbom on X), Liverpool are showing an interest in Ismaila Sarr, who's a primary target for Galatasaray.
The Senegal international wasn't involved in Crystal Palace's defeat to Everton on Saturday – officially injured despite training in the two days prior to the game (Sky Sports) – and reportedly wants to leave the south London club, who are determined to keep hold of him.

It looked for a while like Nicolas Jackson was going to be reintegrated back into Chelsea's first team squad this season after a year on loan with Bayern Munich.
But it's now clear that Xabi Alonso is keeping three strikers in his squad, and the Senegalese isn't one of them. Some will say that's harsh, but it may also be down to a desire to leave on Jackson's part.

PSG's massive asking price for Ibrahim Mbaye is potentially putting Liverpool and other buyers off the Senegal star.
If you enjoy PSG Talk coverage and want to see more of it, add us as a preferred source on Google to make us a favourite and see more of our content.
PSG are trying to deal with two winger sales at once right now.
Both Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye have decided at the same moment that they're not getting enough football in Paris, and the summer additions of three further attackers has only convinced them further that they are better served moving on.
Liverpool are in for both of them, and while things are a little tangled up with Barcola (given his immense €140m asking price), things should be a little easier for Mbaye.

Well, here's an interesting story — Pape Matar Sarr might actually have a market. According to AfricaFoot (not really a Tier 1 source but interesting nonetheless), Galatasaray have an interest in the Senegalese midfielder and have gone as far as to agree personal terms with Sarr, but as of the time of this posting the clubs haven't come to an agreement over a transfer fee.
The report states that the personal agreement is for wages in Turkey of €9m/year which comes out to about £148k/wk. What it does NOT state is whether those wages are gross, or if they're net — Turkey is pretty well-known for being able to offer incredible wages to footballers because they have favorable tax situations there. It's famously why Victor Osimhen is at Galatasaray right now and not an actually good football club, and why actually good football clubs are hesitant to try and purchase him because he's on absolutely insane gross wages there.
The article also suggests Gala are wanting a three year contract for Sarr. It doesn't state whether the clubs are actually in talks at all, and so if any of this is true I'd expect to see it in the English papers before too long. Transfermarkt, which is notoriously unreliable when it comes to actual player values, lists Sarr as being worth around £25m, but who knows what he'll actually go for.
Sarr has been a player linked with an exit this summer for a while now, and it wouldn't surprise me if he goes. He's a player with a lot of utility and a motor that lasts for days, but he hasn't developed the technical skills that Spurs hoped for when they signed him from Metz a few years ago. He probably needs a fresh start somewhere else and I can see him doing well in Turkey or a return to Ligue 1.

Lazio have reportedly secured the services of Croatian defender Josip Sutalo after reaching a full accord with Ajax.
This has been an eventful day for the Biancocelesti, who were supposed to complete the signing of Senegalese striker Bamba Dieng on a free transfer, but the deal has been called off due to a failed medical. But while Claudio Lotito and Angelo Fabiani are back to square one on the attacking front, they have apparently solved their defensive dilemma.
According to multiple sources in the Italian media, including Gianluca Di Marzio, Fabrizio Romano, and Damiano Er Faina, Lazio and Ajax have reached a final agreement on Sutalo's transfer. The 26-year-old will join the Italian capital side on an initial loan for €3 million with an option to buy set at €7.5 million, while the Amsterdam-based giants would receive a 10% cut in case of a future resale.
Sutalo is a Dynamo Zagreb youth product who climbed his way up the ranks to become a stalwart for both club and country. In 2023, he earned a €20 million move to Ajax and went on to make 108 appearances for the Dutch club.
The Croatian international will join a centre-back department that includes Oliver Provstgaard and fellow new signing Danilho Doekhi, while Alessio Romagnoli's fate remains undecided, and Patric and Samuel Gigot are dealing with career-threatening long-term injuries.
