If Henderson departs from Ajax, Pablo Rosario is being considered as a potential replacement, a scenario similar to last summer. Rosario, who previously played for PSV, has a contract nearing expiration in France and has experience working with Ajax coach Francesco Farioli from their time together at OGC Nice. At 28 years old, Rosario moved from PSV to Nice in 2021, showcasing his versatility by playing both in midfield and defense, and holds a captaincy role at Nice. His possible transfer to Ajax is being reconsidered due to reports of Monaco's interest in acquiring Henderson, who is among Ajax's highest-paid players, by the summer of 2026. This interest aligns with Ajax's financial strategy to lower high salaries, positioning Rosario as a suitable candidate should Henderson's transfer proceed.
