Ajax offered Huntelaar to Real Madrid!

What about the end of the article, Jan. And I heard Ajax got 18 mil up front b/c Hereenveen got 2 mil and the other 7 mil (total 27) is due later. Can you explain all this?

What I heard is the initial fee is 20 million, which I guess Heerenveen get 2 million of, and the remaining 7 million are performance/appearance related. Seems to be a standard way of doing deals these days. I’m not exactly sure what the clauses are for the remaining 7 though.

It’s also cool to see Heerenveen/AGOW get a portion of the fee, rewarding the small clubs that develop the talent.

Real Madrid continues to be “Netherlands South”, with all of the talented Dutch players now on that team. Huntelaar seems like a good guy, I hope he succeeds there and perhaps gets some mentoring from the injured Ruud.

think Ruud and Klaas Jan are both very level headed persons .. they are both very ’sober’ people

i do think theres a danger with all those dutchies in 1 team ; if things dont go well its an easy thing to blame … vGaal and Barcelona were a good example

i have to be honest ; im still not sure on Huntelaar … 3 years ago he was amazing but lately… dont know….guess will find out pretty soon

here a vid on Huntelaar (the story)

The deal is this: 20 Mio straight up. Solidarity fees for Heerenveen (2 mio) and AGOVV (??).

The remaining 7 or 8 will be paid in three tranches, based on Real Madrid qualifying for the CL and surviving the group stages. The influx of CL money will then be used to pay the remaining funds. If Real doesn’t qualify, they don’t have to pay. According to Blind, Real could have made those conditions a bit tighter (qualifying for quarter finals or semis) but they were very gentleman-like. Blablabla

Jan, did you see the father Huntelaar video i posted ; the man is a real hero in Holland at the moment cause of that clip

btw; you should check out uitzendinggemist; Avro’s profiel (yesterday) ; it was about Hiddink and the semis v Oranje .. pretty good

I think Marco might have realized the guy had peaked, both in value and in performance. I hope this is not the case, as I want to see KJH do great things in Oranje. But he may not get any better.

@Matt – I agree that he may have peaked, but I’ll add in a second part to the sentence: ” at Ajax”. I think there is a big difference in the level you can achieve in the Eresdivisie and in La Liga. He may have reached his peak at Ajax, but I believe (hope) there’s still a lot more improving that he can do at Madrid.

27 m is a good deal, we already have replacement for hunter. we have cvitanich and suarez, we can also promote castillion and marvin hasselbaink to the first team.
