The 30-year-old midfielder has terminated his contract with Fenerbahçe, allowing him to join the Amsterdam club on a free transfer. Amrabat had initially been linked with a return to Real Betis, where he played on loan last season, but ultimately chose to join Ajax instead. The Moroccan international had been waiting for a response from the Spanish club, but decided not to wait until the end of the transfer window.
Amrabat's decision to join Ajax means that a potential return to Betis is currently off the table. The midfielder played 23 games for the club last season. He has also reportedly turned down lucrative offers from clubs in the Gulf region.
Amrabat is already in the Johan Cruijff ArenA to complete the transfer, with a two-year contract reportedly in place. The experienced midfielder will provide Ajax with the control and experience they have been seeking.
