German giants eye Bounida as Ajax doubts his readiness to depart

Rayane Bounida, the Belgian attacking midfielder, is not prepared to leave Ajax, the #DoneDeal podcast of VoetbalPrimeur reported today at 18:21. Despite speculation linking him with German giants Borussia Dortmund, he remains uncertain of a regular starting spot at the Dutch club.

The podcast emphasized that Bounida is still focused on earning a place in Ajax’s first‑team lineup rather than pursuing a transfer. It underlined his commitment to the club despite external rumors.

He has been named on Borussia Dortmund’s radar, a club that, according to the discussion, would also be interested in many larger teams than Ajax. The German side’s interest was highlighted as part of a broader scouting network.

The hosts recalled that last year Bounida was linked with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Those connections illustrate the high profile of clubs monitoring his progress.

A move to the Bundesliga at this stage was described as far too early, given the modern demands of professional football. The conversation suggested that such a step would outpace his current development.

While Bounida is technically gifted, the sport now requires broader attributes, and he still has many steps to take. The analysis pointed out that technical ability alone is insufficient for immediate success abroad.

The discussion raised the question whether he can keep his head cool if he ends up on the bench. Maintaining composure was presented as a key challenge should his playing time diminish.

The update, posted today, reiterated that Bounida is not ready to leave Ajax and that his future remains under careful consideration.
