Blind's Girona exit clears path for Ajax return after relegation
Daley Blind has officially ended his three‑year spell with Spanish side Girona, the club confirming his departure via its official channels today. The 36‑year‑old centre‑back could not stop Girona’s relegation to the Segunda División last season, and his exit now opens the possibility of a return to Ajax.
Blind said at Ziggo Sport Rondo he wants to keep playing as a footballer. He indicated that retirement is off the table. The comment came as the club announced his exit.
Blind posted on Instagram thanking the fans for welcoming him and his family with open arms. He wrote that Girona means more than football, that he has friends for life there and is proud to have been part of the club’s history. He wished the club the best for the future.

The departure fuels speculation about a possible return to Ajax. Blind has repeatedly said he would like to finish his career at his "club" in Amsterdam. He is linked with Ajax each transfer window and says he still has good contact with the Dutch side. His father Danny Blind dismissed the idea of an immediate Ajax comeback, saying “That doesn’t seem likely.” No official talks between Ajax and Daley Blind have been confirmed. The uncertainty leaves his future destination open. Blind’s next move remains undecided, but his willingness to keep playing suggests he will explore options before retirement. Fans will be watching closely for any announcement of a new club.
