Report: Ajax close in on Liverpool keeper loan deal….
Ajax are on the verge of completing a season‑long loan for Liverpool’s 23‑year‑old Czech goalkeeper Vítězslav Jaroš. According to Dutch journalist Mike Verweij of De Telegraaf, the clubs and player have reached a verbal agreement, with only medical checks and paperwork remaining before the deal is finalized .
Liverpool are reportedly planning to secure Jaroš with a new contract—currently tied until summer 2026—before finalizing the move, safeguarding their long‑term investment in the young shot‑stopper .
This opportunity comes as Jaroš faces limited first-team chances at Anfield, with established #1 Alisson Becker and recent signing Giorgi Mamardashvili ahead in the pecking order. Fourth-choice Caoimhín Kelleher has already departed .
The loan to Ajax—under newly appointed manager John Heitinga, a former Liverpool assistant—appears ideal. Ajax need a reliable No. 1 following departures like Matheus Magalhães and the ageing Remko Pasveer, while the club’s Champions League status and developmental ethos align with Liverpool’s goals for Jaroš .
Pending the medical expected mid‑week, Jaroš will head to Amsterdam without a purchase clause, leaving the door open for a Liverpool return contingent on strong performances. It’s a calculated move for all parties involved.
