FC Copenhagen has brought in Argentine attacking player Maher Carrizo on loan from Ajax for the rest of the season, looking to reinforce its wide options after saying goodbye to several offensive players.
Maher perfectly fits the profile of winger we have been looking for, and we are very pleased that the agreement with Ajax has been completed.
Carrizo moved from Vรฉlez Sarsfield to Ajax in February but has found it difficult to establish himself. He has made eight appearances for the Dutch club, including two this season in Ajaxโs Conference League qualifying matches against Shelbourne.
He has some truly unique qualities, and it is well documented that he recently moved for a significant fee.
FC Copenhagen football director Kristjaan Speakman said Carrizo matched the profile of winger the club had been seeking. He described the Argentine as highly motivated, hard-working and capable of making a difference with and without the ball.
I am really happy that this opportunity has arisen, and I am very eager to get out there and give everything I have for Copenhagen.
Carrizo said he was excited by the move and wanted to give everything to the Copenhagen team. He said he brought energy, pace and a willingness to take on defenders, adding that he enjoyed creating chances and scoring goals. Since last season, Copenhagen has parted ways with Elias Achouri, Jordan Larsson and Viktor Claesson.
I bring plenty of energy, pace and a desire to take players on. I love creating chances and scoring goals, and I will do everything I can to help the team succeed.
