The club’s general manager, Edwin Van der Sar, explained: “The number 34 will never be used again at Ajax, unless the Nouri family and the club want to make an exception together. It is good that an agreement has been reached, we all realize that the suffering for Abdelhak and his loved ones is not over. A very sad situation remains: this is how we feel here at Ajax too. We really appreciate the way the family takes care of Abdelhak day and night, with a lot of love and attention. When I visit him, I am always welcomed with open arms by his loved ones. The link between Ajax and the Nouri family will remain forever “.
