Transfers
Ajax set to buy AS Monaco defender Caio Henrique for €9m
Ajax are reported to be on the verge of signing AS Monaco full‑back Caio Henrique for a fee of nine million euros. The potential move was discussed in detail on the Done Deal podcast, a production of VoetbalPrimeur, and would see the 28‑year‑old Brazilian join the Dutch club.
"They are going to pay about nine million euros for him. A lot of money…", one commentator noted, highlighting the size of the outlay. He added that the amount may be large for a club with limited resources.
"He is already 28, has had injuries in recent years… maybe it’s not a crazy amount, but now, with the little money you have?" the discussion stressed, noting his injury record. The speaker suggested the price might be justified despite those setbacks.
"Attacking, he is good. Nice kick, a modern back. An Ajax‑back, I think," the podcast said, describing his playing style. The description paints him as a forward‑moving defender suited to Ajax’s approach.
"He will go straight into the starting eleven, certainly," the host claimed. If the transfer materialises, he is expected to become a regular starter right away.
Done Deal, produced by VoetbalPrimeur, continues to track transfer activity involving Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord. Listeners are encouraged to follow the latest episodes for further updates on the market.
