It’s over. After five years, five phenomenal years, it’s time to part ways between Ajax and Dusan Tadic.It was suspected for days. Rumors circulated widely that in Amsterdam they were thinking about rejuvenating the team after an unsuccessful season and, along with that that, parting ways with Tadić. Even though he was the MVP of the Dutch league again. But the same reaction came from the other side. As they claim in that country, the captain of the Amsterdaamers expressed dissatisfaction with the quality of the team and asked the club leaders to part ways.Basically, last night’s news coming from Amsterdam says – it’s over. During the day, Ajax prepared a farewell video for Tadić, and the official information was published on the club’s website that Dušan is no longer an Ajax player.”Dušan Tadić is leaving Ajax, the termination of cooperation takes effect immediately. The club respected the player’s wish to terminate the current contract. The Serbian had a contract with Ajax until June 30, 2024, but the termination came into effect tonight,” reads the statement from Ajax.You’ll always be part of Ajax history ❌❌❌ pic.twitter.com/uNra02oAxO— AFC Ajax (@AFCAjax) July 14, 2023 According to the Dutch media, Tadić was dissatisfied with the quality of Ajax’s team and that is the main reason why he asked to leave. He talked about this on several occasions during the previous season, which the club from Amsterdam ended without winning a single trophy. So, towards the end of the season, after the defeat in the derby against PSV Eindhoven, when asked if the team needed better players, he said:”If you win only one derby in a season, then it’s obvious. But we already knew that and we talked about it before. It is clear to everyone that we need better players.”And, throughout the season, Ajax’s worst in the last five years, he was the most frequent target of attacks in the Dutch football public. The former legendary players of Ajax mostly targeted Tadić and criticized him the most for the team’s weak performances.##NAJAVA_MECA_7373650##According to the Dutch media, the Serbian footballer was additionally affected by the fact that Ajax sports director Sven Mislintat never called him while he was on vacation during the summer. Not even to ask him about his health, let alone to consult him for some business move.Mislintat and Tadić recorded a farewell video yesterday, and during the day, after the meeting, they continued to exchange emails specifying the terms of the termination of the contract, since the Serbian footballer had signed his loyalty to Ajax for another year. As the Dutch write, Dusan’s departure will leave a space of 6,500,000 euros in the club’s budget for the next season, which can be used to bring in a new “no.10”. It’s just that the next one, whatever he’s called, won’t be easy to make up for 105 goals and 112 assists in 241 games for the Amsterdaamers.From Dusan to you 💌 pic.twitter.com/TP5h5scZCW— AFC Ajax (@AFCAjax) July 14, 2023 Besiktas, who for days “bombarded” Ajax with the request to let Tadic into their ranks, is waiting in ambush. The Turks were not ready to pay compensation for the Serbian footballer, but they are working to bring him to Istanbul as a free agent. And there are ongoing negotiations, and the difference is in supply and demand. The Serbian creative midfielder is asking for a salary of 4,000,000 euros per season, while the black and whites are offering less than that.
