Van Brederode, who has been impressing in Belgium with KV Mechelen, reveals that several clubs were interested in his services, including Olympique Lyon and Olympique Marseille. However, Ajax was the most concrete in their pursuit, but ultimately, the clubs failed to agree on a transfer fee.
The transfer talks were intense, with Van Brederode stating that it was necessary to do a lot to get him this transfer period. He also mentions that a Saudi Arabian club made a bid of around five million euros, but he rejected it, citing his ambition to play for a club that meets his financial and sporting requirements.
Ajax's interest in Van Brederode was significant, but the clubs were unable to come to an agreement over the transfer fee. Van Brederode has now signed a new contract with KV Mechelen, keeping him at the club for the next four years.
