Contracts of Ajax talents not yet extended: ‘Van Halst does not want to determine salary’

The contracts of Jorrel Hato and Gabriel Misehouy have still not been extended at Ajax. According to Johan Inan, Ajax watcher for Algemeen Dagblad, there are two specific reasons that the extensions have still been decided: the burnout of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and the impending departure of Jan van Halst.
“Due to the hectic pace, important things for the club are left unfulfilled,” Inan begins in the AD Voetbalpodcast. “One of the greatest talents in the Netherlands, Jorrel Hato, is still on a youth contract.”

“He deserves to be captured,” he continues. “He just deserves a good, long-term contract. You have to be able to look such a boy straight in the eye. That extension is very important for Ajax.” Hato is still in Amsterdam with his youth contract until mid-2025.
In addition to Hato, Inan mentions another player with whom the Amsterdam club has still not extended. “It also applies, to a slightly lesser extent, to Misehouy. These things ended up on Huntelaar’s plate due to the dismissal of Sven Mislintat.”
Huntelaar is now at home with a burnout. According to Inan, it is now up to interim general manager Van Halst to finalize the extensions of the two talents.
“Van Halst wants to take on those kinds of files, but to a certain extent. He will be there until March at most. He does not want to determine the salaries of those kinds of guys, because he knows that he will no longer be there in a few months.”
“I now mention Hato and Misehouy, but Huntelaar was also busy with other promises,” Inan continues. “Stanis Idumbo, for example, was the most valuable youth player last season. Things like that are now going to be parked. They have to tackle these kinds of files as quickly as possible.”
