Owen Wijndal

Wijndal is 26, plays left back for Ajax and carries a €3.50m market value. In the 2025-26 Eredivisie, he made 19 appearances, including 15 starts, scored one goal and collected three yellow cards. His wider workload was meaningful too – two KNVB Beker appearances with one goal, one Conference League qualifying appearance and six Champions League appearances point to a role that extended beyond domestic league rotation.

Wijndal's career has moved from AZ development pathway to Ajax first team, with a Belgian loan spell at Royal Antwerp in between. The main progression point was the 2022 move from AZ to Ajax, followed by a temporary move to Antwerp in September 2023 and a return to Ajax in June 2024. At 26, his profile is that of a player still in his peak years rather than a late-career squad option.

The transfer history is built around one major fee: Ajax paid AZ €9m for Wijndal in July 2022. The later Ajax-to-Royal Antwerp loan and June 2024 return created a temporary cross-border spell without a permanent exit. His current €3.50m market value sits well below that Ajax fee, which frames the move as one where the original valuation has not held at the same level.
