The centre-back has signed a five year deal in Amsterdam, but will soon return to Colombia to take part in the Copa Libertadores.
Ajax have paid around €5 million for Sanchez, and beaten off competition from Swiss side Basel and Spanish giants Barcelona, who wanted the 20-year-old for their B team.
Sanchez becomes Ajax’s second signing of the summer after Colombian striker Mateo Casierra.
