The temporary transfer of Kristian Hlynsson to Sparta is delayed. Ajax wants to keep him for the Europa League match against Galatasaray. The loan move to the Rotterdam club is confirmed, but Ajax has put it on hold. Hlynsson was supposed to start training with Sparta on Tuesday, but he will join them on Friday and play his first match on Sunday against FC Groningen.

Ajax loans Kristian Hlynsson to Sparta Rotterdam for the rest of the season. The 21-year-old Icelander is eager for a temporary reunion with Maurice Steijn. Both Voetbal International and De Telegraaf report that the deal will be finalized soon. The loan agreement does not include a purchase option.

Sparta Rotterdam has shown concrete interest in Kristian Hlynsson. The club officially approached Ajax. Hlynsson, who is not getting playing time under coach Francesco Farioli, is allowed to leave Ajax. His management is aware of the financial terms set by Ajax for a loan, and Hlynsson himself will choose his new club. At Sparta, he could reunite with coach Maurice Steijn, who previously worked with him at Ajax.
