Ajax reaches agreement with Werder Bremen on Youri Regeer, Carrizo also heading for the exit

Ajax has reached an agreement to loan midfielder Youri Regeer to Werder Bremen with an option to buy. Furthermore, the club is sending winger Maher Carrizo on loan to FC Kopenhagen to manage their roster depth.

Ajax midfielder Youri Regeer is set to join German club Werder Bremen on a loan deal that includes an option to purchase the player. Regeer, who rejoined the Amsterdam club earlier this year for 4.5 million euros, struggled to maintain consistent form as a controlling midfielder under various managers. The arrival of new signing Sofyan Amrabat effectively ended his place in the current squad rotation, with his final appearance for the team occurring against FC Sion last Thursday.

In addition to Regeer's departure, Ajax is sending Argentine forward Maher Carrizo on loan to FC Kopenhagen. Carrizo failed to make a significant impact on the wing in Amsterdam and faced increased competition for playing time following the recent acquisition of Viktor Tsygankov. Both moves reflect the club's efforts to adjust their roster before the close of the European transfer windows.
