Ajax Wants Leon Bailey
Update: "Leon Bailey proved to be too expensive" Leon Bailey is re-associated with Ajax. The 18 year old striker flirt for several years with Ajax, but a transfer never came. This was partly due to the lack of a work permit because the talent was younger than 18 years. Finally left the Jamaican talent, after an internship with Ajax, not to Amsterdam in 2014, but in Trencin (Slovakia). Via AS Trencin he landed at KRC Genk, where it is fixed until mid-2020. Despite the long-term commitment Bailey spoke last week on Jamaican television station CVM again openly about Ajax. On the website The Age states that the Amsterdammers are again interested in attacking talent. "We are in contact with Ajax. They see Leon in their next number nine. The bid should only be sufficient for KRC Genk, "said his agent and also stepfather Craig Butler, who was in Amsterdam recently. The Age also claims that it is unlikely that Ajax will be able to put an offer on the table that Genk can convince. Bailey himself a move seems to look down: "Genk is for me a stepping stone to the top in Europe. I aim higher, but it is not yet certain that I step now will be put right. "
