Kenneth Perez thinks that Joël Drommel has been misled by FC Twente. On the basis of a contractual agreement, together with his agent, the keeper was entitled to about a quarter of a possible transfer fee, but that amount is passed on to him now that he is moving to PSV. The talented goalkeeper decided to forgo his share. According to Perez, Twente has applied an ‘old-fashioned transfer trick’, ‘at the expense of the player’.

“Such a player agreed a contract a few years ago: you will earn this and you also earn another 25 percent of a future transfer fee. Well, you will never get that 25 percent, you already know that at that time”, Perez suggests Monday at the start of the broadcast of Football talk on ESPN. “Because, what’s happening: Twente is asking 25 percent too much, PSV doesn’t want to pay that and then Drommel is told:” If you drop your share, 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. ”

“You agree that the player gets a quarter of the future transfer fee and the player thinks: well, if I do it right then I can start making quite a bit of money. But that is rarely or never paid out, “Perez continues. He himself did not experience such a deal during his active career, but” many colleagues did, “says Perez. that the transfer went through. I don’t think it’s quite chic about the club. The club will of course come out with the message that Drommel is a great pro because he renounces it, but yes, the two winners are the clubs. It was not very smart for Drommel to say that the asking price was too high. It has been a bit of a disadvantage for him. PSV and Twente leaned back and who should give up their share? The player.”

Drommel reached a personal agreement with PSV weeks ago. Because Twente stuck to an asking price of 6.5 million euros and the people of Eindhoven initially made a bid of 2.5 million euros, it took a relatively long time before both parties agreed. In the end, both parties have watered down. According to The Telegraph Twente will receive approximately 3.8 million euros for Drommel. Technical director Jan Streuer praised Drommel’s attitude in the newspaper. “By some he is portrayed as a money grubber, but that is completely unjustified. Joël has dropped his percentage and that has contributed significantly to reaching an agreement. That is worth a compliment. Many players would not take that. have done this way, ”he said.
