Crazy To offer an unproven manager a contract like that is insane and then to not have some performance related get out clause is even worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) This surely is or at least should be illegal? Quote 14-year-old receives contract worth £ 10.4 million Crazy contract for football talent It is not just the clubs that chase the future football star. Now, the clothing brand Nike pays just over SEK 104 million for the 14-year-old child Youssoufa Moukoco's signature, writes Bild . Youssoufa Moukoko led the scoring league in German Borussia Dortmund's U17 team when he was twelve years old. Something that made clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona follow the striker's progress closely. But it is not just the clubs that are fighting to be part of the young German's possible success in the future. Even the clothing brands want their share of the commercial cake that comes with the attention of today 14-year-old Moukoko. According to German Bild , the football talent has now received correspondingly just over £ 10 million to sign a sponsorship contract with Nike. He has been noted for 76 goals in 49 matches in Dortmund's youth team this season. https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/a/70prw9/14-aring-far-kontrakt-vart-104-miljoner-kr Honestly though you were not allowed to buy children this young. He's not even allowed to go pro yet according to FIFA/UEFA (I think) Let's hope NIKE are not going to ruin his career and turn him into another Freddy Adu.

villa4europe Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 already sold 4 players from the EL final I think (kluivert, reidewald, tete and sanchez) and they've got better, will probably get around 150m for de ligt and de jong, will be interesting to see where that money goes, think they have a couple more coming through too also interesting to see what happens with the dutch national team, starting to get a decent squad again on paper (albeit still with no proper goalscorer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 AJAX are going to get Monaco'ed this summer. De Jong already signed for Barca. Then again it is their business model and it's really impressive that they've (almost) managed to emulate their mid 90's squad building in this day age with Bosmans, agents, silly money and nouveau rich clubs with giant academies who hoover up anyone and everyone. Then again that is pretty much what AJAX does on a smaller scale in Holland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be horrible be a feeder team for them Might end up being the other way around though long term for whoever gets it, I doubt it will be us because of our current owners. On the face of it, there's a lot more potential value in an English club where you play lots of interesting high quality fixtures at domestic level than in France where they're currently 26-3-1 with a +71 GD over 30 games.
