Ajax have set their sights on Romanian youth international Andrei Borza, according to VoetbalPrimeur and GSP. The 19-year-old left back, who is currently active at the European U21 Championship, is in the picture as a possible successor to Jorrel Hato.
According to the Romanian sports outlet, Ajax have been keeping an eye on the defender for at least six months. Borza is even said to be one of the favourites to succeed Hato at the Johan Cruyff Arena. He currently plays for Rapid Bucharest in his own country, where he is a regular.
The youth international has a transfer clause of four million euros, and partly due to the interest, his club donโt expect him to stay next term.
Genoa are also reportedly interested in Borza. That said, scouts from the Amsterdam team have watched him several times in recent months. They are also following his performances during the European Championship U21 in Slovakia.
Ajax are therefore โdrawing up a profile of the full-back and forming an imageโ. There is no concrete proposal yet, but he is considered one of the main candidates to succeed Hato, GSP assures.
Borza played 37 official matches for Rapid this season, in which he scored once and registered three assists as his side finished fifth in the Romanian top flight.
