"Wesley, do you want to continue to enhance your strength? Do you want to strive for more honors? I absolutely believe in the level of Ajax's youth training, and I absolutely recognize your strength. From a technical point of view,
You have nothing to strengthen. What you need to strengthen now is your vision and adaptability. The Eredivisie, like the Portuguese Super League, is a paradise for offensive players. Excellent offensive performance in this place does not prove that you are in the five major leagues.
You can have the same performance. No matter whether it is skills or experience, you can no longer improve in the Netherlands. Go to Serie A, receive higher-level competition training, grow up next to better teammates, and develop under a more complete tactical system.
Understand what you want to do and what you can do...this is what you have to do now."
"Inter Milan now needs a midfield playmaker. Yes, it is very difficult for a player like you who is not particularly famous to become the core midfielder in Inter Milan. But Inter Milan still has
With me, I achieved good enough results last season. There is no player in Inter Milan who disobeys me. I guarantee that as long as I order them, they will honestly follow my arrangements...next season
We want to launch an impact on the third line, we need a lot of good players, and you, even among the signings this season, are one of the two most important people."
"Yes, we bought a lot of midfielders in the summer, Figo, Chigarini, Yaya Toure... But we also gave away a lot of midfielders, Semioli, Karagounis, Farino
Si may also leave. I will not promise that you will be the absolute main force, but as long as you can show what I want to see in training, then you will be the core of Inter Milan's midfield. As long as your physical strength is not a problem, you will
Show up on the field.”
After meeting Sneijder in private, Dick immediately trembled, his domineering aura spread out everywhere, and he talked about all the issues Sneijder wanted to know.
Over and over again - the effect was indeed very good. After listening to Dick's long speech, Sneijder nodded: "As long as the club agrees to the offer, I am willing to join Inter Milan."
Dick laughed, and then reached out to Sneijder - this reaction was Sneijder's style. After rationally analyzing the pros and cons, he could make a decision immediately, and at the same time, he did not want to get into trouble with the club...
"No problem, we will immediately make an offer to Ajax, but I also hope that you can show some attitude. After all, if Ajax refuses to let go, we have nothing to do. We are transferring this season.
It’s not that there’s no money in the market, but it definitely won’t be at sky-high prices… We don’t have any Russian capital injections.”
Sneijder also laughed. In the past two years, the Russian Roman Abramovich has been very famous in European football. Chelsea usually automatically raises the price by 50% when buying people. But it is obvious that Dick will not do such a thing.
.
The contact with Ajax was not very smooth.
Among the players from Ajax, captain Chivu was the first to leave, followed closely by Ibrahimovic. And this summer, Van der Vaart is almost certain to leave, and Ajax is already preparing to use Sneijder as a player.
They will train the next main players, but at this time, Inter Milan made an offer to them!
Inter Milan's first offer of 8 million euros was almost immediately rejected by Ajax. Van der Vaart was rumored to be leaving two years ago, but for the sake of Ajax's results, he stayed.
Jax does not intend to keep him in trouble, but Sneijder is one year younger than Van der Vaart. Now that Inter Milan wants to introduce him, it will also be a huge blow to Ajax...
"Mr. Endet, we are very sincere in bringing in players like Sneijder. You see, the funds we have prepared are definitely not small. What do you think of 10 million euros? With this money, maybe we can keep him
It is possible to move Van der Vaart... You must know that in Ajax, Van der Vaart is more important than Sneijder. I think Ajax can sell Van der Vaart now because Sneijder can take over, right? However,
If Van der Vaart can be retained, will you still need Sneijder?"
Dick's words stunned Ajax's technical director Endert for a moment, and then he made a calculation - in the hearts of Ajax fans, Van der Vaart's status is naturally more important. In order to keep Van der Vaart last summer,
They even sold Ibrahimovic, who was at odds with Van der Vaart. As the current captain of Ajax, Van der Vaart is more famous and important than Sneijder...
However, he quickly realized that Van der Vaart had been kept for two seasons because the club promised not to make it difficult for him to transfer in the future. Now Van der Vaart is probably ready to leave.
Will he, Van der Vaart, agree? These are completely two different things!
"Impossible, Mr. Dick, we have already agreed to let Van der Vaart transfer and leave... We can't do such a thing that breaks our promises." Endert shook his head and rejected this very tempting proposal.
.
"How much can Van der Vaart be sold for? Five million? Eight million? Twelve million euros. Mr. Endert, as long as we agree to Sneijder's transfer, the twelve million euros will be Ajax's."
." Dick said slowly.
Endet shook his head in great pain: "This is not a matter of money..."
"Well, not to mention Van der Vaart, even if we directly buy Sneijder, 12 million euros is already a top figure. How much did Ibrahimovic sell for when he went to Juventus last year? 16 million euros
! He is a forward, and even for such a price, it was not agreed until the transfer deadline. How much impact did it have on Ajax's preparations? Ajax performed poorly in the league in the first half of the season.
, it has something to do with the lack of a reliable striker. If it was decided to sell Ibrahimovic very early, would Ajax still be so passive? I'm afraid they wouldn't have lost the league championship last season... You see
, we have never thought about taking advantage of Ajax, 12 million euros, even if you keep Sneijder for a year or two, can he be sold for a higher price? In recent years, Dutch players have been very good.
Rarely can you sell such a high price... Look at the captain of your mortal enemy, Van Bommel, he has just joined Barcelona on a free transfer... Now other clubs are very sophisticated and they are not willing to spend so much money on Dutch players.
, How many years does Sneijder have left on his contract? Two years, or three years? When he is fully mature, he can join a top club as a free agent like Van Bommel, and the transfer fee saved can also increase their own
salary income..."
Dick's words left Endert speechless. This is indeed the current situation of Dutch football. The matter of free transfer caused the powerful Ajax to collapse in an instant. Later, they spent a good time by selling people, but as Europe
With the disappearance of the transfer market bubble, other league giants have also begun to become more budget-conscious, and players would rather move on a free transfer to get more salary - Litmanen waited until his contract expired and went to Barcelona on a free transfer.
After that, I got the top annual salary of five million US dollars at the time, which I have to say was also a thrill...
Under such circumstances, it becomes increasingly difficult for a team like Ajax that relies on youth training. The players they train cannot always be established in a system, and it is difficult to win good honors, so naturally they cannot be sold.
Although the price cannot be sold at a high price, the investment in youth training has also been affected. It is indeed quite difficult for them to maintain it like this.
"Twelve million euros, if you think about it, this money is in the hands of Ajax. It can be used to keep Van der Vaart, and it can be used to invest more in youth training and train more young players.
, and at the same time, it can provide them with a longer contract and avoid financial losses. At the same time, it is still very early, the transfer market has just opened, and there is still enough time to sell Sneijder and find new players who can replace him...
...I am much kinder than Moji, I will not be ripped off, but I will not let the other party suffer too much." Dick spread his hands and said with a smile.
"We still need to discuss this issue." Endert finally gave this answer.
This kind of answer was actually a sign of relief, and Dick naturally knew it well - anyway, there is still a long time, so there is no need to be too anxious now. In his heart, the transfer fee of less than 15 million is in his hands.
Within the tolerance range, you must know that Sneijder moved to Real Madrid two years later, and his worth was 27 million euros. Of course, Sneijder is not as famous as he was two years later, so naturally his worth has dropped.
Normal things.
After discussion, Ajax still hesitated. Inter Milan's asking price is very good, but if Van der Vaart and Sneijder are let go in one summer, whether it is competitive or other aspects,
, will be greatly affected...
In this case, they began to test Sneijder's tone. If Sneijder himself did not want to leave, then they would refuse decisively. Inter Milan did not seem to be going all out to hit people, especially Dick.
The head coach never spends money blindly when buying players, and cannot ask for a sky-high price. If the players don't want to leave, then there is no need to agree.
When coach Koeman asked Sneijder, Sneijder said that he was still very grateful to Ajax, but if there was a good opportunity, he still hoped to play in a higher level league.
, of course, I will never do anything harmful to the club. Only when the club agrees to the offer from other wealthy clubs will I agree to leave.
Such an answer fell on the ears of the Ajax management, and they already knew it - Sneijder had probably reached a private agreement with Inter Milan, but he did not use his status as a player to put pressure on the club.
, both Inter Milan and Sneijder have done a very kind thing, unlike last year when Juventus tried their best. Ibrahimovic kept saying that he "has always liked Juventus and is willing to work for Juventus."
"Broken Leg", used various methods to grind down the price. Although Ajax persisted until the last moment, they still got the price they wanted. However, the transfer preparations throughout the summer were done in a mess, which directly affected the game...
"The price of 12 million is not enough to satisfy us."
In the end, Ajax gave such feedback, and Dick knew that taking Sneijder was almost a certainty - now it was just a matter of seeing how much more money it would cost...
After some bargaining, Inter Milan finally added a transfer fee of two million euros and acquired the 21-year-old Dutch international Wesley Sneijder for a transfer fee of 14 million euros. At this point,
Inter Milan’s signings this summer are all over!
"Welcome to Inter Milan." After seeing Sneijder sign the contract, Dick smiled and extended his hand to Sneijder.
