Sports Wellness – AMSTERDAM, Ajax are interested in signing Brighton and Hove Albion forward Alireza Jahanbakhsh this summer, and he would be keen on the move.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jahanbakhsh joined Brighton in a \u00a317.1m deal from AZ Alkmaar last summer but has endured a challenging first year in England, managing just ten appearances and two goals so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a disappointing campaign for him, and now Ajax are ready to bring it to an end and take him back to the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s according to De Telegraaf,<\/a> who say the Dutch giants are yet to make their move for the forward but at \u2018the signals are green\u2019<\/em> for an attempt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They explain that Jahanbakhsh was a target for Director of Football Marc Overmars two years ago, but at that time a transfer was impossible because of his asking price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, since then Ajax have \u2018raised the salary ceiling\u2019<\/em> and, because of Jahanbakhsh\u2019s poor first year at Brighton, his asking price is now much lower than two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such a move could now be on the cards and while Ajax are yet to approach Brighton or Jahanbakhsh\u2019s management team, who also represent Maarten Stekelenburg, it\u2019s believed the player would\u00a0\u2018welcome\u2019<\/em>\u00a0the move to Amsterdam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any move from Ajax, though, will be heavily dependant on them selling other players first and whether they can qualify for the Champions League group stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have already qualified for the tournament via their placement in the league but winning the Europa League would secure an automatic place in the Group Stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That, in turn, would see the millions \u2018flow in\u2019<\/em> to the club, providing them with the cash to make their move for Jahanbakhsh, with Brighton likely to try and recoup what they paid for him as a bare minimum in any move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
