The forward has now hit back at the head coach, stating he does not want to play for Koeman anymore. “I don’t even want to play for this manager anymore. I won’t play for someone who portrays me like he has done in the media. He could have called me, hear my side of the story. How can he say such things without talking to me?,” said Bergwijn to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.

Bergwijn made his Netherlands debut in 2018 under current head coach Ronald Koeman and has gone on to represent the Oranjes on 35 occasions. He has also scored eight goals and provided three assists in these outings. Ajax will receive a transfer fee of over 21 million euros from the Saudi Arabian club.
