In an otherwise pretty messed up season, Jorrel Hato is the big bright spot for Ajax Amsterdam. At 17 years old, the defender has already fought for a regular place with the Dutch. This is said to have attracted the attention of FC Bayern and BVB, among others.
Jorrel Hato recently celebrated his debut in the Dutch senior national team. In Oranje’s 6-0 win in the European Championship qualifiers against Gibraltar, the teenager was substituted on by bond coach Ronald Koeman at half-time.
Another highlight for the shooting star, who recently made a name for himself at Ajax Amsterdam. Hato has already played 18 competitive games in the 2023/2024 season, and he even scored once.
As transfer expert Ekrem Konur reports, the top European clubs have long been hunting for the talented left-footer who feels most comfortable in the middle of the defense.
According to reports, FC Bayern, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC and AC Milan are closely monitoring the youngster’s situation.
FC Bayern and BVB can offer European football
Hato, who will come of age next March, is under contract with Ajax until 2025. In Amsterdam, people would rather extend their home crops today rather than tomorrow.
It is unclear how the sought-after defensive man plans his future. In the Eredivisie he and his teammates are running miles behind expectations, even if the sporting trend is now slightly upwards again.
However, the Champions League will most likely take place again next season without Ajax, and even the other European competitions are currently still some way away.
So if Hato wants to continue playing internationally in order to recommend himself to the Elftal, he would probably be better off at FC Bayern or BVB…
