Sontje Hansen is there Kick 't Met from Ziggo Sport discussed his departure from Ajax. The current NEC striker opens a book about how Alfred Schreuder opted for a (temporary) transfer from him on the last day of the transfer period, due to Antony's departure. However, Lucas Ocampos was brought in at the very last minute, much to the youngster's dismay.
“I had already spoken to a number of clubs from the Netherlands,” Hansen recalls on the talk show Ziggo. “But then Alfred Schreuder came to me to say that I was not allowed to leave.”
“On the last day of the transfer market…”, he is disappointed. It had everything to do with Antony's transfer. On August 29, the clubs announced the Brazilian's transfer.
Hansen then counted himself rich. He wanted to fight for the spot that became available after the transfer of the very expensive Antony. “I thought: this is really the moment when it has to happen.”
“Schreuder texted my agent to say that I could no longer leave. I thought: then I would just play at Ajax 1 or train,” says the winger. Two days later, Hansen saw his perspective on playing time as a house of cards again. collapse into each other.
Ajax managed to capture Ocampos in the very last minutes of the summer window. The deal seemed to collapse for a long time, because Sevilla hoped to sell Ocampos for 20 million euros.
However, Ajax's Supervisory Board did not agree to that amount, which meant that a deal was in danger of coming to nothing. In the closing minutes of the window, a rental deal (worth four million euros) was reached. This was not very successful: Ocampos returned to Seville in January.
“Ocampos was brought in, and then I had to stay at Jong Ajax. When Ocampos came… I really don't know why anyone within Ajax thought: hey, he's going to play well. No one understood then why he was brought in,” Hansen sneers.
