1510 Here he comes!

To some extent, it is no longer a secret that Yang Yang switched to Ajax.

In the business field, the Yang Yang team led by Wei Zheng and Raiola has been negotiating and cutting with Real Madrid's business team for a long time. The two sides will continue to cooperate in the future, but there are still many problems that need to be solved for Yang Yang's departure.

This transfer involves the interests of many companies. There are more than 20 sponsors under Yang Yang's name, all of which are among the top brands in the world. If Yang Yang wants to transfer, he needs to give them an explanation.

Yang Yang is willing to continue to cooperate with each other with a good attitude and of course he welcomes him, but if he decides to terminate the sponsorship contract with him because he wants to leave Real Madrid, he will not stop him.

The final result was that only two major multinational companies chose to terminate their sponsorship contracts with Yang Yang, and many brands, including Nike and Porsche, have increased their cooperation with Yang Yang. Among them, Nike even offered Yang Yang a sky-high life contract, leaving him in the Nike camp forever.

The reason is not difficult to guess. Ajax's jersey sponsor is Adidas.

If Nike does not sign Yang Yang, it is difficult to guarantee that Yang Yang will not be poached by Adidas, which is not a good thing for Nike.

Real Madrid also suffered a lot of losses, but since Yang Yang and Real Madrid will continue to cooperate, many of the contracts signed before can continue to be fulfilled as long as the sponsor is willing. Yang Yang will continue to cooperate with Real Madrid and fulfill his corresponding obligations, but he cannot wear Real Madrid's jerseys again.

At least, during his time at and coaching Ajax.

This transfer involves too many interests and the commercial interests of dozens of large conglomerates in the world, so it is impossible to hide it from everyone. The executives of those large conglomerates have long known it, but they just didn't disclose it to the public.

Even many media reporters who are close to Yang Yang, Real Madrid and Ajax have known it for a long time.

As early as early March, the Dutch government suddenly issued a special tax exemption clause, which was aimed at the goal of big-name foreign stars playing football in the Eredivisie League and enjoying a three-year tax exemption.

At that time, many people speculated whether this was paving the way for Yang Yang's return?

The media close to Ajax knew in their hearts that Yang Yang's return was a foregone conclusion.

Especially at the end of May, Adidas suddenly announced that it would renew the contract with Ajax in advance, increasing the sponsorship fee by 10 million euros, doubled. This caused a huge response in Dutch football. Everyone was wondering, Ajax's performance was so poor, why did Adidas renew the contract in advance and also increase the sponsorship fee?

In addition, Ajax is also promoting business operations in a low-key manner and achieving results one after another.

Especially after the end of last season, Ajax signed three major sponsorship contracts in just over a month, with revenues of more than 10 million euros, which allowed Ajax to open up Asian and North American markets at the commercial level.

Not long ago, when Ajax's Commerce Director Mennon Herren held a press conference in Amsterdam, he said with confidence that Ajax's global promotion plan is going well and is expected to become Ajax's largest source of income in the next two years.

It was also at that press conference that Ajax announced the restart of China's youth training program and will invest 100 million euros in the next year to build Ajax's largest youth training base overseas.

Many people are very surprised by Ajax's major decisions, because Ajax doesn't have that much money, and why is Mennon Herren so confident that he can open up the global market and compete with major European families?

Only those who truly understand the inside story know that Ajax's confidence comes from Yang Yang.

Even the Ajax Supervisory Council agreed to restart China's youth training plan because of Yang Yang.

He is here!

This is an excellent opportunity for Ajax!

It's also an opportunity to take off!

"Right back, I have to have a right back."

Yang Yang is not concerned about external affairs, and what he cares more about is Ajax's performance in the next season.

He made an agreement with the supervisor that as long as Ajax's performance and operations this year meet the standards agreed upon this year, he will fully acquire Ajax and make this team completely his private property, and he will speak for it in the future.

This is also the reason why he spared no effort to vigorously develop Ajax over the years and now.

Van Gaal and Van der Sar both felt Yang Yang's strong desire. They now understand that an offensive right-back will be a crucial part of Yang Yang's tactical territory, but they have indeed tried their best.

As they looked at each other, both of them smiled bitterly.

"In the past six months, we have examined many players. In the past month, we have reconsidered almost all the right guards in the scout database that meet our requirements, but to be honest, it is difficult." Van Gaal locked his eyebrows in a rather embarrassed manner.

"Yes, the players we like may not be willing to come to our team, such as Aaron Wanbisaka of Crystal Palace in the Premier League. He has just turned 20 years old, has a fast speed and excellent physical fitness. Crystal Palace is only in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, but you know, after we contacted his agent, the other party refused us without hesitation."

"There are several others, Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Brazil, Argentina..."

Van der Sar spread his hands helplessly, "We have increased the transfer budget to 10 million euros, and we can make appropriate concessions in terms of annual salary, but the problem still cannot be solved."

The transfer fee of 10 million euros is already very high in Eredivisie.

When Ajax wanted to sign left-back Ruore, he really hesitated for a long time. In the end, Yang Yang made the decision and succeeded, but even so, he still received a lot of criticism.

If it weren't for the first half of last season, Ruore was very brave, the trade would have been scolded to death by the media and fans.

Ajax is so difficult now. Better players look down on the Dutch Eredivisie, nor do they look down on Ajax who can't play in the Champions League. Many of them even would rather play as a substitute in the mid- and lower-level teams in the four major leagues than come.

Anyway, that is also the four major leagues.

This oligopolistic effect is becoming more and more obvious, but from another perspective, if Ajax cannot break through its own bottleneck as soon as possible and get rid of the current dilemma as soon as possible, then in the end, the situation will definitely get worse and worse.

Belgium and the Netherlands are going to merge, but who knows when it will be? Who knows what will happen after the merger?

No matter what, Ajax now must be self-reliant!

...

"Is there really no good candidate?" Yang Yang frowned and asked.

Van Gaal nodded, "After our inspection and selection over the past period of time, we all think there are two best solutions at present, you can refer to them."

"Speak and listen."

"Our youth team's main right-back Sergino Dest has grown very fast in the past or two years. He will enter the second team in the new season and participate in the DPRK League. The players are very fast, have excellent skills and strong assisting skills. We all think that he is a very ideal choice."

Yang Yang nodded and pointed out the biggest problem, "But he is only seventeen years old."

"Yes, this is his biggest problem at the moment."

Yang Yang's brows were still frowning. He was not against promoting young players. It was not a big problem to be in the Eredivisie at the age of seventeen. However, when he was in the European arena, he was not very old, especially in the defense line. The risks were too great.

Especially when encountering a team that is not as strong as yours, such obvious weaknesses are definitely seeking death.

“What about another plan?”

Van Gaal raised his head and looked at Yang Yang deeply, "The second plan is actually more appropriate and more in line with our requirements, that is Real Madrid's right-back Ashraf."

"It's him." Yang Yang immediately remembered that this was his teammate in Real Madrid, a young player.

Last season, he was Carvajal's rotation and substitute, and he performed well in some games, but not stable enough.

For teams of Real Madrid, there is absolutely no doubt that they can enter the first team. The key is whether they can cultivate their potential. This is the problem.

Yang Yang searched his memory about Ashraf in his mind and felt that this player was really good, fast, had a living foot, good physical fitness, and was worth cultivating.

"If I remember correctly, Real Madrid's position on loan is right?" Yang Yang asked.

Real Madrid's right-back is full, and Carvajal is the main force. He just introduced Odriosora from Real Sociedad this summer. He spent 30 million euros and would definitely occupy a place in the first team. In this way, the young player Ashraf's position will be squeezed and he will definitely leave the team.

Real Madrid's youth training strategy is very clear. When it comes to these young players with potential, they prefer to rent instead of selling.

"It's indeed a loan, but you wanted to buy out more before, didn't you?" Van Gaal said with a wry smile.

This is where he is in trouble.

Ashraf is indeed a good choice, but if Real Madrid wants to loan, Ajax prefers to buy out, because this is how to ensure that the players they train can bring value to the club.

If it is on loan, after kicking out, I will go back to Real Madrid immediately.

Of course, it is also a difficult problem to convince Ashraf to come to Ajax.

After all, good players are all sought after now. Ashraf's performance in Real Madrid is not bad, and his net worth is not high. If he really wants to transfer, he will definitely not lack the interest of the four major league teams. Why should he come to Ajax?

Yang Yang tsk twice, and then saw the look of anticipation when Van Gaal and Van der Sar looked at him. How could he know what they were waiting for?

To put it bluntly, don’t you just want to come forward?

Ashraf is indeed a bit redundant for Real Madrid. Yang Yang's appearance is not considered as digging for Real Madrid, but he is a little sensitive. After all, he has just changed jobs from Real Madrid.
