Fulham, has successfully negotiated an agreement with Ajax to secure the services of Nigerians international, Calvin Bassey, for a substantial sum of approximately €21 million.
Following the rejection of a £15 million bid by the Dutch club, the Cottagers found themselves in the aforementioned situation regarding Bassey.
However, the clubs have currently reached an agreement on a higher amount, in addition to a sell-on fee.
The finalisation of the agreement is contingent upon the negotiation and agreement of personal terms.
Speaking on Bassey’s future Ajax manager, Maurice Steijn told Dutch daily, Telegraaf, “I told Calvin Bassey it would be better to leave Ajax.
“Also because of the money. When he leaves — we can strengthen the squad properly. I have told him this honestly.”
Brighton had also shown interest in Bassey, who still has four years on his present deal.
He spent two years at Rangers, making 65 total games before moving on to Ajax last summer. During his time there, Rangers won the league in 2021 and the Scottish Cup the following year.
In 39 games with the Dutch team, he has contributed one goal and five assists.
