Vermeend: Danjuma’s Spain saga stalls as PSV and Ajax linger

The 29‑year‑old forward Arnaut Danjuma, under contract with Valencia CF, has become a hot topic in Spain as Dutch media report interest from PSV and Ajax. Reports note his name appears on both clubs’ wish lists, sparking debate about his next move.

Interest and media nuance

Initial reports placed Danjuma on the transfer radar of PSV‑ and Ajax, but subsequent coverage clarified that neither Dutch top club views him as a priority. The story was later tempered by statements that the forward is not a primary target for either side.

Tribuna Deportivo, a Valencia‑based radio station, announced on Monday that Danjuma is seriously contemplating a departure from Valencia. The outlet emphasized that Valencia has not received any official offer for the player.

Coach’s influence and contract wishes

Valencia coach Carlos Corberán is said to hold significant sway over Danjuma’s future, with the player seeking a guaranteed starting place. Should a regular role not materialise, Danjuma is reportedly open to leaving the club.

Spanish newspaper AS corroborated Tribuna’s claim and highlighted the strong relationship between Danjuma and Corberán, describing it as “more than good.” The paper added that a hypothetical transfer would free salary space, but Valencia would then need to recruit a new striker within a tight budget.
