Ajax coach Michel spoke publicly about defender Youri Baas, a Dutch player linked to FC Porto. At the press conference, the coach admitted he doesn't know what will happen to the player, leaving open the possibility of a transfer during this transfer window.
Michel recognized that Baas may leave Ajax, but made a point of emphasizing that he counts on the player for the season. This seemingly contradictory position reflects the uncertainty surrounding the defender's future at the Dutch club.
Youri Baas's link to FC Porto comes in a context where the Portuguese club is looking to strengthen the defensive sector. The young left-back, formed at Ajax, has attracted interest from several European clubs.
The 22-year-old player saw his position at Ajax become more competitive after the arrival of Giovanni van der Wen, which may have influenced the possibility of a departure. Still, Michel's words suggest that the club does not intend to make the transfer easy.
