Nicolo Zaniolo May Replace Israeli Oscar Gloukh at Ajax This Summer
Dutch media report that Ajax Amsterdam is considering selling Israeli midfielder Oscar Gloukh during the current transfer window. Dutch journalist Benjamin Hagen revealed that if Gloukh departs, Nicolo Zaniolo is a strong candidate to join Ajax as his replacement. Deportivo La Coruña from Spain has also expressed interest in Gloukh following their promotion to La Liga last season.
Zaniolo, 27, currently plays for Udinese, having joined them in 2025 after struggling with multiple injuries. He has made 19 appearances for the Italian national team and is attempting to revive his career, although he has faced challenges so far. Dutch commentator Bart Sanders recently noted that Gloukh's potential exit could provide Ajax with greater flexibility to pursue other transfers this summer.
The ongoing speculation around Gloukh's future at Ajax highlights the club's active plans in the transfer market, with significant changes expected before the window closes.
