"The decision to leave the club was very difficult to take. However, I believe this is the right time. Not only for me, but also for the club to start again. We have experienced great successes at Ajax, which have given me an indescribable feeling. Depending on me, this is not a final goodbye. I will forever be an Ajax player and I hope to return to Amsterdam soon, in a different role, as a coach", said the Serbian.
On behalf of Ajax, the director for football, the German Sven Mislintat, spoke, who made it clear that the divorce came from the player: "Dusan [Tadic] told us that he wanted to terminate the contract. Since he arrived in 2018, he has shown how important it is for the team and his ability to lead on and off the pitch. Last season, his stats are incredible".
