Ajax have announced that Milan defender Jaap Stam will move to Amsterdam at the end of this season.
The Dutchman had made it clear over the last few months that he would be making his way back to his homeland, but today’s confirmation from both official club websites of a two-year contract puts the final word on the matter.
The 33-year-old will complete the transfer in July, ending two years in the Rossoneri jersey.
“Stam is a defender of great experience who has played in several top clubs,” noted Ajax director Martin van Geel. “We think he can add quality to our young and talented squad.”
Stam has been in Serie A since 2001, when he made a surprise switch to Lazio after a bitter split with Manchester United.
His career had begun in Holland with Zwolle, Cambuur, PSV Eindhoven and Willem II. So far this season he has made 23 appearances in all competitions and scored one goal.
With Marcos Cafu, Alessandro Costacurta and Paolo Maldini also in their late thirties, Milan will be looking to revolutionise their defence over the summer.
In other transfer news, Torino have signed Arezzo top scorer Elvis Abbruscato on a loan spell with the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season. The striker is valued at £3m and the six-month loan will cost Toro around £700,000.
“I invite all the Granata fans to come and meet me at the training ground on Tuesday,” said the 25-year-old who has scored 10 goals in 26 Serie B appearances this term. “I am jumping for joy at the start of this new adventure and hope it will be a long and happy one for me and the supporters.”
Inter look set to sell Santiago Solari to Espanyol after the Argentine failed to settle in Serie A, according to the Spanish Press.
The 29-year-old winger was signed on a free transfer from Real Madrid in the summer, but has made just 13 appearances in all competitions for the Nerazzurri.
His most notorious contribution to the campaign has been an incredible miss in front of an open goal in their 1-0 Champions League win over Glasgow Rangers. |
