Spaniard to leave Ajax

Ajax have opted against turning Juanfran's loan deal into a permanent arrangement.

Ajax have opted against turning Spanish left back Juanfran's loan deal into a permanent arrangement.

The defender arrived at the Amsterdam ArenA on loan from Besiktas last summer and was tipped to make a big impact in the Eredivisie.

However, he picked up a red card in an early outing for the reserves and was subsequently banned for a number of weeks.

He failed to find any sort of form and injuries also hit him hard, with his place in the team going to Urby Emanuelson.

While Emanuelson flourished, Juanfran was forced to watch on from the sidelines and it comes as no surprise that Ajax have opted to let him go.
