Ajax has canceled Abdelhak Nouri's contract just days after he returned home after over two years in the hospital following an on-field heart attack that wound up with him in a coma, according to Dutch media reports.
Ajax paid the 22-year-old's salary for the past two years, and his contract was set to be automatically renewed July 1. Ajax was reportedly required to notify Nouri's family if the club was terminating the deal. His family has reportedly been seeking a bigger settlement since Ajax admitted to providing "inadequate" medical assistance when he collapsed during a preseason friendly against Werder Bremen in Austria in 2017.
