Ajax reject €5m bid from AS Roma for defender Devyne Rensch | OneFootball

AS Roma have officially seen a bid turned down by Ajax for Devyne Rensch, Voetbal International reports. The €5m offer was deemed too low for Ajax, although the Dutch giants are keen to sell the defender as he’s just entered the final six months of his current contract.

Devyne Rensch has been a regular starter for Ajax under Francesco Farioli, racking up 24 appearances across all competitions so far this season. The Amsterdam club are eager to extend the 21-year-old’s contract, although there’s no indication whether he intends to remain at the Johan Cruyff Arena beyond June.

Ajax have already been preparing for Rensch‘s departure, with former youth defender Youri Regeer lined-up as a possible replacement. Regeer currently plays for FC Twente, having left Ajax permanently in the summer of 2023 for around €1m. Ajax hold a €5m buy-back clause and are ready to trigger it if Devyne Rensch departs this month.
