Sean Steur Transfer from Ajax to Newcastle United
Mike Verweij, speaking on the De Telegraaf podcast Kick-off, stated that Sean Steur had agreed to a contract with Ajax for a salary described as extremely high. Verweij said the agreement was made by Alex Kroes and Steur's representatives, but the contract was never signed because Steur chose to move to Newcastle United. The proposed contract would have given Steur a higher salary at eighteen years old than Ryan Gravenberch earned at the same age, according to Verweij. Separately, it was reported that Steur's entourage asked for a guaranteed starting position, which Ajax could not promise. Verweij also stated that the transfer brings Ajax 27 million euro, a sum he described as 'absurd'. Jordi Cruijff was quoted as saying that if a player leaves, he does not do so for nothing and the club will then negotiate hard; the article notes this is what happened, resulting in the high price.
