Branco van den Boomen to terminate Ajax contract and join Angers

Branco van den Boomen to terminate Ajax contract and join Angers Under contract with Ajax until 2027, Branco van den Boomen (30) is reported to have terminated his contract with the Amsterdam club, according to information from Mohamed Toubache-Ter. Now a free agent, the Dutchman is expected to sign for Angers SCO – where he was on loan last winter – on a three-year deal, running until 2029. A former Toulouse FC player (23 goals and 45 assists in 121 matches), the midfielder left France in the summer of 2023 to return to the Netherlands, where his spell with the Ajaccides ultimately did not go as he had hoped. Plagued by several injuries that kept him sidelined, at times for many weeks, van den Boomen ultimately never managed to establish himself as an undisputed first-team regular at a club where he had previously played in the youth ranks. And it was at Angers that the Veldhoven-born player finally regained regular playing time, starting 14 of the 15 matches (one assist) he featured in under Alexandre Dujeux during the 2025-26 season.
