Maximilian Ibrahimovic has joined Ajax on a season-long loan from AC Milan with an option to buy; Milan keeps a sell-on percentage. His arrival strengthens Ajax’s attack and could increase the likelihood of goals — punters might consider backing Ajax to score over 2.5 goals or monitor futures for a permanent transfer and rising market value.
Maximilian Ibrahimovic Moves to Ajax on Loan with Option to Buy
Maximilian Ibrahimovic is set to follow his father’s footsteps by moving from AC Milan to Ajax on a loan deal that includes an option to buy at the end of the season. Milan will retain a percentage of any future sell-on fee as part of the agreement. Clubs exchanged documentation to finalise the move.
Deal Details
The transfer is structured as a season-long loan with an option for Ajax to make the signing permanent. AC Milan has negotiated a sell-on clause, ensuring a share of any future transfer fee if Ajax activate the option and later sell the player.
Player Profile and Recent Form
The 19-year-old forward has been part of Milan’s Futuro squad since joining the academy in 2022. This season he has scored five goals and supplied four assists in 16 Serie D appearances. He featured as part of Milan’s youth setup after the team were relegated from Serie C at the end of the previous campaign.
Legacy Link: The Ibrahimovic-Ajax Connection
The move marks the first time in 22 years that an Ibrahimovic will wear Ajax’s colours. Zlatan Ibrahimovic played for Ajax from 2001 to 2004, scoring 48 goals and providing 17 assists in 110 competitive appearances. Zlatan currently serves as a senior advisor at AC Milan, underscoring the family’s ongoing link to top-level European football.
Betting and Market Implications
Ibrahimovic’s arrival adds attacking depth to Ajax’s squad and could influence short-term markets: expect a slight boost to Ajax’s expected goals and goals-over markets. Punters might favour Ajax in goals markets (for example over 2.5 goals) or consider futures tied to Ibrahimovic’s permanent transfer odds and market value growth if he performs well.
