Ajax has expressed interest in Jesse Joronen as a potential replacement for Diant Ramaj. It is reported that Ajax is ahead of Sampdoria in the race to acquire the Finnish goalkeeper. The Amsterdam club has made contact with Joronen's current club, Venezia, a fact confirmed by Italian transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio. The transfer of Ramaj to Dortmund for five million euros, followed by an immediate loan to FC Copenhagen, has led Ajax to search for a new goalkeeper. Although Copenhagen had previously shown interest in Joronen, Ajax's recent actions have positioned them ahead of the Genoa-based club Sampdoria.
