Arne Slot has a contractual lump sum of seven million euros at Feyenoord, claims René van der Gijp. In February, Feyenoord highlighted another option in the trainer’s contract, which is therefore fixed until mid-2024. Analysts regularly associate Slot with Ajax, but Johan Derksen does not expect the Amsterdam club to be willing to pay such a transfer fee.
On the broadcast of Today Inside Derksen responds Tuesday evening to a column by Willem van Hanegem, in which Slot was called upon to give a clear answer to the questions about Ajax. “As far as he is concerned, the door is open, otherwise you just say ‘get away with your questions, I am Feyenoord’s trainer and I am not going to Ajax’. Then the discussion is over,” said Van Hanegem. “But I can imagine that he is not clear,” Derksen responds. “Maybe it’s not an issue and then I think it’s neat that he doesn’t speculate.”
Tuesday wrote The Telegraph that Alfred Schreuder is a serious candidate to succeed Erik ten Hag who is leaving for Manchester United. The club management has inquired at Club Brugge about the trainer, who would be ‘high on the list’. Reportedly, Schreuder can be released for one and a half million euros. Derksen calls him ‘a very good candidate’. “I hadn’t thought of him, because I also thought Peter Bosz was very suitable. He now seems to stay in Lyon. I have full confidence in Schreuder. He also gained international experience at TSG Hoffenheim and Club Brugge. tactical brain.”
Derksen says he thinks that a lump sum must also be paid for Slot. “Yes, the lump sum is seven million. I heard that this afternoon”, Van der Gijp replies. The amount is called ‘extreme’ by presenter Wilfred Genee. “Really?! How can it be so high?” he wonders. Derksen also thinks it is on the high side. “They don’t pay that. Then I would go for Schreuder.” The fact that Schreuder’s name appears at Ajax is somewhat surprising, as the former trainer of FC Twente and TSG Hoffenheim has only been employed by Bruges for a few months. On the other hand, he already worked as an assistant at Ajax under Ten Hag.
