Ajax has announced that Cruzeiro has lifted the option to buy Luis Orejuela. The 24-year old Columbian defender already played for the Brazilian side since the beginning of 2019 on a loan deal.
Luis Orejuela was bought by Ajax in the summer of 2017, for €3.65 million, but never made a real impression in Amsterdam. He only played 4 official matches for the first team of Ajax. He mostly played for Jong Ajax, with whom he won the second division in 2018.
In January 2019 he moved on a loan deal to Brazilian side Cruzeiro. Cruzeiro did thave the option to buy the defender for €1.5 million, which they now have done. Orejuela still had a contract until the 30th of June 2022 at Ajax.
