Ajax Amsterdam tell seven players to leave the club via WhatsApp after another disappointing season.Ajax Amsterdam have reportedly told seven players to leave the club via WhatsApp after another disappointing season. Ajax Amsterdam, the most successful club in Dutch football history, are undergoing major changes after yet another disappointing season without a title. Since Erik ten Hag’s departure for Manchester United, Ajax have not lifted the Eredivisie trophy, with Feyenoord and PSV dominating the domestic scene.Despite some improvements under Francesco Farioli, who stabilised the team and fought for the title until the final weeks, Ajax fell short once again. Three consecutive seasons without a title are simply unacceptable in Amsterdam, leading to drastic squad changes.The first big move was appointing Johnny Heitinga from Liverpool as the new head coach. The club have also confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros, also from Liverpool, on loan.However, the most controversial development concerns player departures. According to Dutch media, seven players were informed they could leave the club via a WhatsApp group message. To add insult to injury, they have already lost access to the training ground and their parking spaces.Such handling of departures reflects wider issues at Ajax, including transfer failures, managerial instability, and boardroom scandals in recent years.The seven players set to leave AjaxChuba AkpomAjax resisted offers for the former Arsenal striker in January but have now changed their stance.

At 21, he is still expected to attract interest from other clubs.Christian RasmussenThe Danish forward arrived from Nordsjaelland’s academy for £2.5m in 2019, but after five years and just 25 appearances for Ajax, he will seek a new club.Kristian HlynssonTouted as the future star of Icelandic football, the attacking midfielder showed promise at Ajax but regressed last season, scoring only twice and losing his place in the starting eleven.Branco van den BoomenThe midfielder arrived from Toulouse with high expectations but failed to establish himself.
