Raphael Van der Vaart, a former Ajax midfielder, has stated that Marc Overmars, a former Ajax director of football, thought he could sell Mohammed Kudus for €100 million.
Van van Vaart claims that Overmars justified the fee by saying that Kudus is his best acquisition since becoming a football executive.
Van van Vaart remembered Overmars telling him Kudus could bring Ajax a €100 million sale after they spoke about the Ghanaian’s skills.
“When I saw Kudus for the first time during a friendly, I spoke with Marc Overmars and he said to me: ‘Rafael, this is my best signing of all time, this one will deliver us €100M,'” he said after Kudus’ performance against Camburr.
Ajax defeated Camburr 5-0 on Sunday, February 5, 2023, with Kudus contributing an assist.
Steven Berghuis scored the second goal from close range after he amazingly defeated his opponent in the 18-yard area.
In his last three games, he has now contributed to three goals ( 2 goals, 1 assist).
He presently has 12 goals and 2 assists across all competitions, making this his second assist of the season.
Mohammed Kudus transferred from Danish club FC Nordsjaelland to Ajax in the summer of 2020 for a €9 million price.
