Liverpool goalkeeper set to complete Ajax transfer after signing new contract….
Liverpool are set to loan 23‑year‑old Czech keeper Vítězslav Jaroš to Ajax for the upcoming 2025‑26 season after he signs a new contract extension with the Reds. The deal is reportedly confirmed as a season‑long loan without any purchase option, orchestrated by Ajax’s new boss, John Heitinga, who worked with Jaroš at Liverpool .
Jaroš had limited first-team opportunities at Anfield last season, making just two senior appearances behind Alisson Becker and incoming prospect Giorgi Mamardashvili. Ajax needs a reliable starter after parting ways with Matheus Magalhães and with Remko Pasveer aging, and Heitinga trusts Jaroš to fill that role .
Ahead of the loan, Liverpool will finalize a contract renewal to extend Jaroš’s stay beyond his current summer 2026 expiry. This ensures his transfer value is protected and maintains the Reds’ future flexibility should his development continue .
In summary:
Player: Vítězslav Jaroš, 23, Czech goalkeeper
Move: Season-long loan to Ajax (no purchase option)
Before loan: Signs contract extension with Liverpool (expires summer 2026)
Why it makes sense: More playing time for Jaroš; Ajax gets trusted starter under Heitinga; Liverpool retains asset value and development pathway.
