Foreign clubs are interested in the signature of Ahmetcan Kaplan, his agent has confirmed to Voetbal International. Before his arrival at Ajax, the brand new debutant was already on the radar of clubs from two European top competitions and that has not yet changed.
Kaplan’s story at Ajax has been an extremely sad one so far. The unfortunate defender was injured soon after his arrival in Amsterdam and saw disaster strike again upon his return.

After more than a year and a half, the counter has reached eleven matches in the Kitchen Champion Division on behalf of Jong Ajax and one match in the main squad. Last Sunday, Kaplan made his debut in the away match against AZ (2-0), when he replaced Anton Gaaei.
“Ahmetcan has a courageous and strong character and that is why he chooses a big club like Ajax,” says his agent Necdet Ergezen in conversation with VI. “He continues to work hard and waits for his opportunity.”
“Before we signed for Ajax, there was interest in him from the Bundesliga and LaLiga,” Ergezen continues. “That interest is still there, but if he can play for Ajax and have an important role in the selection, that is of course a privilege for us.”
Ergezen knows that his client is doing well abroad. “Because of his qualities and age, he is still interesting for clubs from the five biggest leagues in Europe, but in my opinion everything has to happen at the perfect time.”
Kaplan was acquired from Trabzonspor in the summer of 2022 for around 10 million euros. The man was considered a replacement for Perr Schuurs, who in turn left for Torino. Kaplan’s contract runs until mid-2027.
