Many were surprised when Ajax signed him on loan from Bayern Leverkusen, and then signed him permanetly for a 2.8 million pounds in April 2015. He then proceeded to replace the departing Kolbeinn and was made a regular starter but fans did not complain after he scored 21 league goals for them and 7 assists. This performance from Milik impressed the Polish national coach and Milik was a part of the 23 man squad that reached the knockout stages. He was partnered up the big man Lewandowski and managed to make a name for himself when his strike partner (Lewandowski) did not live up to his name.
Napoli have made multiple transfers thanks to the massive amount they recived for Higuain, includingA�defender Tonelli from Empoli and signing attacking midfielder Emanuele Giaccherini from Sunderland, another player who had an impressive Euro 2016.
The polish striker signed from Bayern Leverkusen in 2014 for Ajax and in a statement released close to three weeks ago, they (Ajax) mentioned that they will not sell him, no matter how high the transfer fee. Talk about going back on your word!
