Joël Drommel has in no way been pressured to hand in his share of the transfer fee that PSV pays, emphasizes technical director Jan Streuer of FC Twente in conversation with TC Tubantia. That suggestion was aroused in talk shows on Monday by, among others, Kenneth Perez and René van der Gijp, who blamed the alleged conduct of FC Twente. “That criticism is completely unjustified,” says Streuer.
Drommel goes according to it Eindhovens Dagblad for 3.5 million euros to PSV and waives the amount of several tons to which he was contractually entitled. Perez responded on Monday Football talk on ESPN critical. “Such a player has agreed a contract a few years ago: you will earn this and you also earn another 25 percent of a future transfer fee,” said the Dane. “Well, you will never get that 25 percent, you already know at that moment. Because, what happens: Twente asks 25 percent too much, PSV does not want to pay that and then Drommel is told: ‘If you leave your share then the transfer can go ahead. ‘ A piece of the old box. And who is the victim? The player. I don’t think it’s chic. “
Later that evening, Van der Gijp moved in Veronica Inside also bright in leather. “I even heard the term anti-social passing by”, Streuer responds to Van der Gijp’s statements. “But that criticism is completely unjustified. We have not put any pressure on Joel. Perhaps those people should have first inquired about the real situation, instead of just shouting something. If a player has something in his contract, then I think so too. But in this case it was something else. The Joël Drommel camp came to us with this solution and not the other way around. “
Drommel and his previous agent agreed with FC Twente that he would receive a percentage of his future transfer fee. Together with Menno Beukema, his current representative, Drommel decided to forgo that amount. According to Beukema, that indeed happened without pressure from FC Twente. “I get the initial primary reactions, but those people don’t know how this deal ended up being,” he says. “It’s very simple: FC Twente has added water to the wine, PSV too and Joël has contributed ideas.”
Beukema explains how Drommel’s choice came about. “We wanted to avoid a stalemate anyway: what good would it have been if FC Twente had had two very good keepers with Lars Unnerstall and Joël next season? Joël was picked up by FC Twente at IJsselmeervogels at the age of sixteen and has grown into Enschede in Enschede. what he is now. The club owes a lot to him, but it is the other way around. FC Twente means a lot to him and he also thought it was a moral gesture to everyone and everything to think about a solution. Joël left FC Twente through the front door and that is worth a lot to him. Believe me: this transfer has only yielded winners. And Joël really does not have to eat a sandwich less. He has opted for short pain and then long fun. For him, this is three steps forward in terms of sport and financially. “
