Míchel Sánchez targets Marc ter Stegen for Ajax

Míchel Sánchez has begun his role at Ajax ten days after Girona's relegation. He is working with director Jordi Cruyff to shape the squad. One of his primary targets is goalkeeper Marc ter Stegen, aged 34.

Ajax's pre-season will be short because the club must play Conference League qualifiers. The first qualifying match is scheduled for 6 August.

Strengthening the goalkeeper position is a key priority for the new coaching team. Ter Stegen is identified as the preferred candidate to fill that role.

The pursuit of ter Stegen is being coordinated alongside other transfer plans. No details on contract or fee have been disclosed.

If the move materialises, Ajax will add a veteran goalkeeper ahead of European competition. The club hopes the addition will bolster its chances in the Conference League.
