Where's the kids dad? Needs tell him to stay where he is, or at the very least, to stay far away from Mourinho.

Yes I knowThe old Kluivert isn't exactly known as the pinnacle of common sense.

Well if that's the case, it's sad. Raiola should be nowhere near that kid.Actually his dad thinks his son should stay, but apparently his mother and Raiola have other plans.

You've completely misunderstood. He's good at earning more money and big moves, but this kid is not ready physically or mentally for such a move and the pressure and scrutiny that comes with it.Yeah Raiola's clients are certainly struggling.
Come on dude, Raiola is a douche and a scumbag but he's clearly a wizard for his clients.

A move now would probably do more harm than good. Raiola just sounds like the wrong influence for this particular kid.
How is he certainly ready to move to a club like that?Of course the kid isn't ready to move to Barca or a top club but he's certainly at the age to move to something like a Sevilla/Everton/other club in similar standing in a stronger league than the Dutch one.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
FIFA have stated the final demand is illegal. I doubt that part is true.
Will look for it but it was why the Pogba transfer was investigated.Link?

I thought we were cleared because no such payment was made?and yes then Juve and United were both cleared as both of them were found to have broken no rules.
Fifa have a rule for the maximum length of a contract for under 18 year olds. He must still be on his first pro contract.€1.5m gross p.a. doesn't sound that outrageous to me, but demanding 40% of any transfer fee sounds pretty ridiculous. On the other hand with his contract running out and him already having made a bit of a name for himself they have Ajax over a barrell, so they might actually submit to something like that. You gotta wonder why the kid has a contract that runs out when he's 20.

Maybe Ajax have a rule about youngsters contacts?Yeah, I know, it's three years. But as far as I know clubs usually negotiate pre-contracts when the player's 18th birthday is approaching. After all most players don't want to stay on the wages they negotiated in their academy days.
Noone seems to rate him that highly so I doubt he'll be dumping us for Barca.I'd rather not. Number one reason: Raiola is his agent. Number two reason: He'll be crying out for Barca as soon as he's fulfilling his potential.

So that's 25k a week - roughly, all for the pleasure of them getting 60% of the transfer fee when he inevitably pushes for a big move. He's a right piece of work old Raiola isn't he.

Ajax is already busy for a long time with offers of a new contract, but Raiola keeps them at bay.
Besides that: Ajax have a salary ceiling of 1mil. So he wants to be the best paid player of Ajax after basically his first full year where he didn't even start in the beginning of the season.
Oh yeah, hell of an agent from that perspective - getting himself stinking rich in the process. There seems to be no middle ground now though, from bosman days where the clubs held all the cards. Now the pendulum has swung fully the other way.Raiola is doing what is best for his client is all. I wish I had someone like him negotiating my salaries.

I didn't know Ajax manage to keep their wages this low (where do all their transfer profits go then?), that of course makes it a completely different case.
No thanks.
I'd be up for buying him if this was 2013 and Fergie was still in charge.
But it's 2018. We're coming to the end of a season where our attacking players have disappointed, and we're managed by a manager with zero patience for inconsistent young footballers.
