ESPN reported that after Ajax inquired about the 19-year-old Smit, AZ responded with an asking price of "at least €15 million" as they see the talented midfielder as an undisputed starter in the upcoming season. Ajax, who said they were "seriously interested" in Smit and would pay "millions" for him, got scared off by AZ's high demands.
Ajax have since decided to invest in a subscription of midjourney and create their own key smit instead.

Well there it is. I was watching the Netherlands U19 and wondering why this Smit guy was all glitchy and didn't breath.
