Dear Ajax fans:

It is difficult to find the right words to express my mood, because Ajax is my home. From the moment I joined the club as a kid, I dreamed of playing football at John Cruiff Stadium. Thank you for your support and the trust of everyone in the club, this dream has finally come true.

After 7 years of great time, it is time to take a new step in my career. It was a difficult decision because Ajax not only shaped me into being the player I am today, but also my personality. I want to thank everyone, which includes my coaches, teammates, the staff behind the scenes, and of course, the fans who always support us.

No matter where I am, Ajax will always occupy a special place in my heart, and I will always be an Ajax person. Thanks Ajax, this is always my home!
