Johan Derksen is of the opinion that Ajax has done good business by selling Quincy Promes, the analyst said on Friday evening. Veronica Inside. Although the team from Amsterdam let the 29-year-old attacker leave for Spartak Moscow with a loss, the table gentlemen of the talk show believe that a good deal has been struck.
“I read that Ajax did that well, eh, with Promes. Sold for 8.5 million euros, and that amount can go up to 11 million euros ”, presenter Wilfred Genee brings up the transfer of the former Ajax player. “That’s quite nice indeed,” says Valentijn Driessen. “Of course they bought it for almost sixteen million. But if you look at that possible conviction, this is excellent. ” René van der Gijp also adds that the club has enjoyed ‘fun’ with Promes for two years, although Derksen clearly disagrees.
“I don’t know if you can put it that way, René. I think they are overjoyed at Ajax that they have lost that acorn ”, says Derksen. “He played okay with Ziyech, because then he got good balls at the far post. But you don’t want someone who beats up his wife in Ibiza and is then involved in a stabbing incident, do you? Then you have to say: away with that guy. Ajax still has to close their hands that they managed to get rid of that guy for that price ”, the analyst concludes firmly. “Yes indeed, that’s why they take the loss, of course,” Driessen adds.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Promes is switching to Spartak, where he was previously under contract between 2014 and 2018. According to The Telegraph Ajax has managed to place the risk of a possible conviction of the attacker entirely on the Russians. Partly for this reason, the newspaper called the transfer agreement a ‘world deal’. “I look back on a great period,” said Promes himself. “Especially the first season. That is something very special. I am especially grateful that I had the chance to show it here again.”
