As seen in the past, Ajax are no strangers to a significant sale due to the trust the club have in their youth academy.
Star striker Sebastien Haller is now closing in on a move to Borussia Dortmund following the departure of Ten Hag.

Following confirmation of Ten Hag's appointment at Manchester United, Antony posted a good luck message for the 52-year-old on social media.
He said: “I want to wish you all the best at your new club,” he said. “I also want to thank you for everything you taught me. I am thankful [for] all the opportunities and learning every day. Know that I will always stand with you if you need me.”
United are in the hunt for attacking reinforcements, which are top of the agenda besides the ongoing pursuit of Frenkie de Jong.
Antony is deemed tactically versatile and can play on either flank or alternatively, through the middle as a second striker.
