He Al-Ittihad has signed the winger Steven Bergwijn from Ajax Amsterdamas announced by both clubs. The Saudi Pro League club will pay more than 21 million euros for the 26-year-old player, whose contract with the Dutch team is valid until June 2027.
The Netherlands international arrived at Ajax from Tottenham Hotspur in July 2022 for €31.25 million, making it the most expensive transfer in Eredivisie history.
“Steven and Ajax have not hidden the fact that, if a good offer comes from abroad, he will make the move,” Ajax technical director Alex Kroes said on the club’s website. “That happened at the last minute, giving the club the necessary financial flexibility to hopefully secure a suitable replacement in the short term.”
Bergwijn won the Dutch top flight three times with PSV Eindhoven between 2015 and 2018. He represented the Netherlands 35 times and scored eight goals, making his debut in October 2018 in a 3–0 victory against in Germany in the Nations League.
