Ajax's Quiet Revolution — And Why Leão Is Key
Ajax Amsterdam's transfer targets for summer 2026 could reshape Francesco Farioli's squad. Here are the names making waves.
Odegaard. That's our #1. Here's the full ranking — and the big name we left out.

Despite a strong 2025-26 campaign under Luis Enrique, PSG still lack balance in midfield. The squad is heavily reliant on individual brilliance.
There's no natural regista to control tempo in Champions League knockout stages. This has reportedly been a tactical limitation.
While Kylian Mbappé continues to deliver, the team needs more structured build-up play and midfield control.
Odegaard has been linked with PSG in multiple outlets. Sources suggest he is reportedly in excellent form this season.
His vision, passing range, and composure align perfectly with Luis Enrique’s philosophy. He could be the missing piece.
PSG are reportedly interested in exploring a move, though his current club may resist any bid.

Luis Enrique’s system demands a controlling presence between the lines. Without it, PSG can look disjointed against compact defences.
The current midfield lacks a true number 10 who can drop deep and dictate play. Odegaard fits this role perfectly.
Adding him would allow the box-to-box midfielders more freedom and reduce Mbappé’s creative burden.
Odegaard is the dream. He is widely regarded as one of the best playmakers in Europe, with proven big-game experience.
While not confirmed, PSG is being linked with a major push to sign him, potentially reshaping the squad around his profile.
His leadership and maturity could elevate PSG’s performances in crucial Champions League fixtures.
With Odegaard in midfield, PSG could play a more cohesive 4-3-3. The attack would flow through him, feeding Mbappé and wingers.
A new left-back and a young talent from Europe’s elite academies could round out a refreshed, balanced squad.
The focus remains on sustainable success, not just short-term fireworks.
