Bayern Munich offers Hiroki Ito to Ajax for a potential transfer

Management for Bayern Munich defender Hiroki Ito has offered the player to Ajax as the German club looks to move the defender before the transfer deadline. The Japanese international currently falls outside of manager Vincent Kompany's plans for the squad. Ajax is evaluating the proposal to determine if the 27-year-old can bolster their defensive unit as they pursue a Dutch league title. Ito remains under contract with Bayern Munich through 2028, with his current market valuation estimated at approximately €18 million. Because the transfer window in the Netherlands remains open one day longer than the Bundesliga deadline, Ajax holds the flexibility to continue negotiations after the German market closes. No formal agreement has been reached between the two clubs at this stage.
