Ajax cancels contract of Abdelhak Nouri, 22, after he woke up from two years coma

Ajax have reportedly cancelled the contract of Abdelhak Nouri, just days after he woke up from his coma.

However, according to De Telegraaf, Nouri’s contract is up for renewal on July 1 and Ajax must reportedly notify the player’s family should they decide to terminate the automatic extension.

It was learnt that Nouri’s current deal has a pre-agreed 12-month extension that the Dutch giants do not want to take up and instead would prefer to come to a settlement with the family.

It's been reported by Journalist Valentijn Driessen claimed last week that a compensation fee has not been agreed between the two parties while it is being reported that Ajax are considering an offer of £4.5million, according to The Sun.
