Ajax midfielder Rayan Bounida has revealed ongoing contract discussions with his current club, following recent reports linking him to Tottenham Hotspur. The 18-year-old, regarded as one of Ajax’s brightest youth prospects, attracted interest after Spurs scouted him last month. Bounida has been a standout performer in Ajax’s youth system, with 26 goals and nine assists in 67 appearances, showcasing his potential to make an impact at the senior level.
With his current contract set to expire this summer, Bounida is free to negotiate pre-contract agreements with other clubs. However, Ajax is keen to retain the talented youngster despite financial challenges that may limit their ability to present a significantly improved offer. Speaking about his future, Bounida commented that his management is handling discussions with Ajax, but he refrained from sharing further details.
Tottenham’s interest in Bounida aligns with their strategy of targeting emerging talents across Europe. The club continues to monitor his situation, as the outcome of contract talks with Ajax could determine whether Spurs intensify their pursuit. The potential signing of Bounida highlights Spurs’ commitment to bolstering their youth ranks with promising players capable of becoming key figures in the future.
