Negotiations started for permanent Wolves exit – Work ongoing to finalise transfer agreement

Ajax negotiating to make Arokodare's loan permanent; Wolves want more than €25m, Ajax's opening offer.

Ajax have opened negotiations with Wolverhampton to convert Tolu Arokodare's season-long loan into a permanent deal. The 25-year-old Nigerian striker joined the Eredivisie club on loan in late July after struggling to adapt to the Premier League following Wolves' relegation. He has since thrived in Amsterdam, scoring nine goals and providing three assists in 14 matches.

Ajax included a purchase option in the loan agreement and are now pushing to make the move permanent. However, the clubs are apart on fee: Ajax are offering €25m, while Wolves are demanding a higher price and have not disclosed the exact value of the purchase clause. Arokodare's camp is open to staying in Amsterdam, and with all parties keen on a permanent transfer, a deal could be reached if the two sides find common ground on the valuation.
