Via the journalistic platform Follow the Money It became clear this weekend that Stefan de Vrij was not fully informed about his switch from Lazio to Internazionale in the summer of 2018 by the real estate agency Sports Entertainment Group (SEG) with which he worked. A signing bonus of 7.5 million euros would have disappeared into the pockets of the real estate agency without the defender’s knowledge. Willem van Hanegem thinks that ‘the business’ can also have an influence in the dressing room of the Dutch.

“Talk about bad. I couldn’t believe what I read this weekend. Stefan de Vrij who is so cheated by his agents. By a boy who had been visiting for years and who belonged to the circle of friends of the family. And probably with the help of his superiors from management agency SEG ”, Van Hanegem writes in his column in the Algemeen Dagblad. “I think it’s so scandalous that I don’t have the words for it.”

“7.5 million and more in the back pocket and over the back of a decent boy. I think that this case can also play a role in the Dutch ”, the former international continues. “If I was accompanied by that office and my fellow international got robbed like that, I would say: we all leave that office. Get out and quickly. We don’t let our teammate, a comrade, be treated so rude. Certainly at a time when everyone is talking about collective action. You can’t let this go by as internationals, can you? ”

Van Hanegem emphasizes that a lot went wrong in his time. “Cruijff and pig breeding, Neeskens and his tent in Amsterdam. The money from the tennis park went into the wrong pockets for me, ”said Van Hanegem. He emphasizes that this is ‘an office that provides colleagues with professional guidance’. “And then play this joke. De Vrij is champion of Italy with Internazionale. That is beautiful. I hope that he will be able to keep the premium he receives. ”
