Brian Brobbey hasn't played a minute for Ajax this season due to a knee injury sustained during the final preseason match against AS Monaco.

Kasper Dolberg Top Target for Ajax
If Brian Brobbey leaves Ajax, the club will pursue a deal for Anderlecht striker Kasper Dolberg, reports De Telegraaf. The 27-year-old Dane, who spent four years at Ajax earlier in his career, is said to be interested in rejoining the club. However, Ajax will have to compete with Celtic, who have reportedly bid €9 million for Dolberg's services.

Anderlecht are eager to sell Dolberg to raise funds that the club missed out on by not qualifying for European football. It is reported that the Pro League outfit demand €10 million for Dolberg.
The Danish striker played for Ajax between 2015 and 2019, having left Silkeborg in January 2015. Dolberg broke through at Ajax and scored 45 goals for the Amsterdam side in 120 games. The Dane left Ajax in January 2020 for Ligue 1 outfit OGC Nice.
Kasper Dolberg joined Anderlecht in 2023 after loan spells at Hoffenheim and Sevilla. In his two seasons with the Belgian club, he scored 39 goals in 87 appearances. This season, Dolberg has netted five goals in nine matches across all competitions, showcasing his attacking prowess.
