Sivert Mannsverk is poised to depart from Ajax and join Cardiff City on a loan agreement lasting until the season's conclusion. De Telegraaf reported that the Norwegian midfielder would be loaned out for six months, becoming the fifth player to be loaned by Ajax. Cardiff City, currently sitting at eighteenth in the Championship, appears to have acquired Mannsverk's services as Ajax looks to make room for new players. Technical Director Kroes indicated that the aim is to create space for an additional right-back. Despite interest from 1. FC Nurnberg in Germany, Mannsverk has opted for Cardiff City, where he hopes to secure more playing time after facing challenges in obtaining a starting position at Ajax due to a significant injury and not fitting into coach Francesco Farioli's plans.
