Lily Yohannes leaves Ajax Women with immediate effect, she announced on Instagram on Monday. The eighteen-year-old top talent will likely continue her career at Olympique Lyonnais.
“After five years in red and white, it’s time to leave this wonderful club Ajax. I am incredibly proud to have worn the Ajax shirt and to have grown here as a player and person. Coming into the academy as a little girl, all the way to the first team, the club that I can always call home,” writes Johannes, who emphasizes being grateful to Ajax.
“Although it is incredibly difficult to say goodbye, one thing is certain: Ajax will always have a special place in my heart.”
