Samuel Eto’o Rejects Ajax Amid Ongoing Transfer Talks
Ajax Amsterdam’s hopes of signing veteran striker Samuel Eto’o have been dashed after the Cameroonian forward turned down an offer from the Dutch club. Despite prolonged negotiations, the two parties failed to reach an agreement, according to reports from the Dutch daily De Telegraaf.
The 33-year-old Eto’o, one of Africa’s most prolific goal scorers, has attracted interest from several European clubs during the current transfer window. However, Ajax will not be among his destinations this summer.
With the transfer window set to close on August 31, Eto’o still has a limited timeframe to decide on his next move. While the experienced striker weighs his options, other clubs remain keen on securing his services before the deadline.
Ajax’s failure to sign Eto’o marks a setback for the Eredivisie club, which had hoped to bolster their attacking options with the seasoned forward’s wealth of experience. Eto’o’s decision means the club must look elsewhere to strengthen their squad as the season approaches.
