Football agent Hasan Cetinkaya has spoken of how he managed to double the transfer fee Ajax brought in from selling Frenkie de Jong to Barcelona.
The Spanish championss signed De Jong for an initial fee of €75 million (£65m/$85m), after the 22-year-old played a starring role in Ajax’s run to the Champions League semi-finals.
Cetinkaya said Ajax had been stung in the past by unscrupulous agents encouraging their players to kick up a fuss and engineer a move, and director of football Marc Overmars had initially just been looking to beat the €38m (£35m/$45m) they had received from Tottenham for Davinson Sanchez in 2017.
