Santiagueño Maher Carrizo leaves Vélez to join Ajax | OneFootball

El Fortín will sell 50% for about seven million gross dollars, and the Dutch club will have the option to buy another percentage. The player will not be against Independiente and will travel to the Netherlands.

The transfer market has once again shaken Liniers. Maher Carrizo will leave Vélez and continue his career at Ajax. The Dutch giant proposed 7 million gross dollars for 50% of the rights, the player gave the OK to proceed, and this weekend he will travel after the final agreement between clubs.

According to TyC Sports, the negotiation was finalized in the last hours, after the Dutch club made a formal verbal proposal for half of the 19-year-old winger's transfer, a figure that confirms Carrizo's strong positioning on the European radar.

From Amalfitani, they rejected the first approach, but not definitively, instead responding with a counterproposal, aware of the player's value and the potential they see in him in the short and medium term. Ajax decided to stretch a bit more, and the operation would be closed in the coming hours.

In this way, the Dutch team will have the option to buy an additional 40% for a figure close to six million US dollars. Thus, Vélez would keep the remaining 10%.

A key point is the player's stance. Carrizo gave the green light for negotiations to continue, reaffirming his desire to make the leap to European football, something he had already expressed during this transfer market. The forward is said to have agreed to a contract, which would be for five years.

Awaiting the finalization of his transfer, Carrizo will not be present this Saturday when the Liniers team visits Independiente for the 3rd round of the Apertura tournament: he was on the list of players called up, but he left the squad and his departure is imminent.
