  • Ajax and Wolves have begun talks over a permanent deal for Tolu Arokodare.
  • Ajax could offer as much as €25 million and are discussing a three-year contract.
  • Wolves hold the striker’s contract until June 2029 and want more than Ajax’s reported valuation.

Ajax have opened negotiations with Wolves over making the Super Eagles forward’s stay in Amsterdam permanent.

People close to the player, along with internal confirmation, indicate that discussions between the two clubs are already under way.

The Dutch club are said to be willing to go up to €25 million for Arokodare. Ajax are also reportedly considering a three-year deal for the striker.
