Leon Bailey has been offered to Ajax, De Telegraaf reported on Tuesday evening. Technical director Jordi Cruyff is weighing it up and keeping several options open on the left wing. Ajax stepped up their search after Mika Godts' departure to Paris Saint-Germain.

Bailey would be open to a move to Ajax. The Jamaica attacker has one year left on his contract at Aston Villa, who, according to English sources, are willing to accept a transfer fee of nine or ten million euros.

Ajax were seriously interested in the 29-year-old Bailey in 2016. He ended up joining Bayer Leverkusen a year later for around €17 million.

Bailey moved to Aston Villa in 2021 for €32 million. The Ajax-linked attacker spent several months on loan at AS Roma last season.

That means the left-footer is under contract in Birmingham for another year, which makes this the right time for Aston Villa to sell. Transfermarkt estimate Bailey's current value at €14 million.

Hull City are also reportedly interested in Bailey, who was absent from Aston Villa's squad against Paris Saint-Germain in the match for the European Super Cup. It appears Unai Emery has no place for him next season.

Ajax had previously tried to bring Noa Lang to the Netherlands. However, the Netherlands international now appears set to leave Napoli for Galatasaray on a permanent deal.
