Ajax midfielder Youri Regeer joins German club on loan

Ajax midfielder Youri Regeer has joined German club Werder Bremen on loan with an option to buy. The move comes as Ajax brings in new players, including Sofyan Amrabat, while also sending forward Maher Carrizo to FC Copenhagen on loan.

Ajax midfielder Youri Regeer has departed the club for a loan spell in Germany with Werder Bremen. The deal, which was finalized shortly before the German transfer deadline, includes an option for the Bundesliga side to purchase the 23-year-old permanently. Regeer, who rejoined Ajax for 4.5 million euros in early 2025, struggled to consistently impress in the holding midfield position, prompting the club to prioritize the acquisition of Sofyan Amrabat to fill that role.

In addition to Regeer's departure, Ajax has also loaned out winger Maher Carrizo to FC Copenhagen. The Argentine forward, who joined the Amsterdam side during the winter transfer window, found playing time limited behind competition such as Steven Berghuis and recent arrival Viktor Tsygankov. Regeer remains under contract with Ajax until 2029, while both moves reflect the club's ongoing effort to restructure its squad following recent tactical changes and new signings.
