Wijndal has always maintained that he would not easily leave Ajax for another club, despite being written off by some at the Amsterdam club. "I never thought it was over for me," he said. "Of course, there have been moments when the club has been open to a transfer, but I've always said that I wouldn't leave Ajax easily."
The left-back has been linked with a move away from Ajax in recent years, with some speculating that his salary was the reason he stayed. However, Wijndal has dismissed these claims, saying that he could earn a good salary at other clubs if that was the only consideration. "If money was the most important thing, I would have left a long time ago," he said.
Wijndal has been working hard to regain his place in the Ajax team, and it seems to be paying off. Despite not always starting, he has been in good form this season, and has praised the team's playing style and the trust shown in him by coach. "The way we play suits me well," he said. "I also feel a lot of trust from the coach, which is great for every player."
