In Football Manager 2017: The Ajax Journey, Alex Dieker looks to take Ajax back to European glory by using three R\u2019s: Recovery, Revitalization, and Redemption. Recovering Ajax as the main Dutch superpower will mean using shrewd business, a strong youth policy, and tactical awareness to bring the Amsterdam club back to its usual Eredivisie dominance. To revitalize Ajax means to regain the club\u2019s status as one of the world\u2019s premier youth academies by using a \u201cconveyor belt\u201d system of bringing young players into the first team as star players get sold on. Finally, Alex will look to bring redemption back to the club by winning the Champions League and becoming the world\u2019s strongest squad.<\/strong><\/p>\n With the Football Manager Year cycle almost over, it\u2019s imperative that I do everything I can to win the Champions League with Ajax in the upcoming seasons. We have the squad strength, tactical awareness, and experience. We\u2019ve held on to our star players longer than ever imaginable. Will this be the season?<\/p>\n Ajax now has a supreme squad with world class players such as Ch\u00e9 Nunnely, Patrick Gijzen, and Pablo Drag\u00fan. The 2022\/2023 transfer windows were about adding good depth in positions that needed it. Roberto Freyfeld <\/strong>was our largest signing at \u20ac9 million (\u20ac11.5m) from Mexican club Am\u00e9rica \u2013 a well-rounded midfielder who can fill in as an inverted wing-back on the left. Gianluca Belfiore <\/strong>is in the side for that very role in defense. Bought from Juventus for a mere \u20ac5 million (\u20ac5.5m), the 21-year-old has great physical and mental attributes. With the departure of long-time servant Eric Tayou <\/strong>to Dortmund for \u20ac16m (\u20ac23.5m), Belfiore played a key role throughout the season.<\/p>\nTransfers<\/strong><\/h4>\n
