€200,000 market tag fuels Ajax Amsterdammers' hopes of Kalokoh exit
Ajax Amsterdammers are poised for a forward’s exit as David Kalokoh’s market value stands at €200,000 and his contract runs until mid‑2027, 18:39. The 21‑year‑old has not featured for the first team this season.
Around the Ajax first‑team, transfer rumors surface daily, while Jong Ajax prepares for the upcoming season. AjaxShowtime notes that the club expects Kalokoh to depart, adding to a series of outgoing moves already confirmed.
Technical director Jordi Cruijff has reinforced the Jong squad by signing Fouad Zahouani, Jano Monserrate and Diego Pugno. These arrivals aim to bolster the youth side amid several departures.

Kalokoh, 21, was absent from the concluding friendly against KRC Genk, a match that appears to have been his final appearance in Amsterdam. The omission fuels speculation that a transfer is imminent.
Over four seasons, Kalokoh amassed 69 appearances for Jong Ajax but never broke into the senior lineup. He did sit on the bench for the league fixture versus Heracles Almelo in late January 2024.
He arrived at Ajax in the summer of 2018 from VVV‑Venlo, signing a deal that now runs to mid‑2027. Transfermarkt values him at €200,000, a modest figure that underscores the club’s willingness to move him on.
Kalokoh’s potential exit reflects the broader Dutch market, where clubs regularly adjust youth rosters and capitalize on modest‑valued assets to balance squad depth and finances. Such transactions allow Ajax to free resources for incoming talent while maintaining a pipeline of developing players.
