A Liverpool player is on the brink of departing Merseyside once again—his latest in a series of exits from the club.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017 as a teenager, Vitezslav Jaros has spent time on loan at four different clubs across three countries. Now, he’s set to embark on his fifth loan stint in a fourth country.
Jaros Scheduled for Medical Ahead of Ajax Loan
Dutch outlet De Telegraaf reported on Saturday that Ajax has agreed to bring in the Czech goalkeeper on a season-long loan without an option to buy. Earlier in the week, it was suggested that Ajax manager Johnny Heitinga was eager for a reunion with the 23-year-old.
Liverpool approved the move, given Ajax’s Champions League participation and the footballing similarities between their new coach and former Liverpool boss Arne Slot.
On Monday, journalist Mike Verweij confirmed via X (formerly Twitter) that Jaros is set to undergo his medical today ahead of finalizing the move to the Eredivisie runners-up.
Liverpool’s Jaros to Spend 2025/26 on Loan at Ajax
Last season, Jaros served as Liverpool’s third-choice goalkeeper and played a key role in securing a 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace in October after Alisson Becker was injured. That moment justified the club’s decision to keep him around for the year.
Fellow goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher previously described Jaros as “brilliant” during pre-season. The Czech goalkeeper impressed in his competitive debut, helping the team hold on for the win at Selhurst Park.
With new signings Giorgi Mamardashvili and Armin Pecsi joining the squad, Jaros’ chances of playing time at Liverpool look slim. A move to Ajax, now managed by Heitinga, makes practical sense.
This loan should provide Jaros the opportunity to play regularly at a high level, especially with Ajax competing in the Champions League and expected to challenge for the domestic title.
While his future at Liverpool remains unclear, this spell in the Netherlands could be key in boosting both his experience and his market value
