Ghanaian forward Mohammed Kudus has emerged as a prime target for top European teams in the upcoming summer transfer window. The youngster has caught the eye with his impressive performances for Ajax Amsterdam and in the recent 2022 Qatar World Cup, where he was his country's standout player.
Kudus has netted fourteen goals and provided three assists for the Dutch side this season, showcasing his versatility by playing in various positions on the field. His contract with Ajax runs until the summer of 2025, and he is reportedly valued at around 40 million euros.
As relayed by Fichajes.net, three major European clubs are keen to acquire the services of the 20-year-old in the next summer transfer window. Here is a breakdown of each situation.
AC Milan, who are looking for possible replacements in case Rafael Leao leaves, view the 22-year-old starlet Kudus as a potential solution to their attacking conundrum. However, the Italian giants' current financial strategy may prove to be a stumbling block in any negotiations.
Meanwhile, Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag, who previously worked with Kudus at Ajax, has identified the young Ghanaian as an ideal target to bolster his squad's attacking options ahead of next season's Premier League campaign. The Red Devils are keen to make a statement in the transfer market with marquee signings.
Lastly, Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund are also monitoring Kudus closely, having followed the youngster for some time now. The Germans see him as a potential replacement for Jude Bellingham and believe his versatile skillset would be an excellent fit for their system.
