Lump sum Doan minimum ten million euros Football

Ajax is also the only Dutch club that can afford it. "We have offers at FC Groningen of nine and ten million euros," said Buijs. These are Russian and Ukrainian clubs, but for now, the outgoing director, Hans Nijland, says "no".

In the coming autumn, FC Groningen's manager also does not want to cooperate because Doan can make the difference between relegation and execution in the Eredivisie. "In the summer, the club also rejected 8 million euros from CSKA Moscow – a good decision because we still benefit from it," said Buijs, who qualifies Doan as the best player. "In my youth, I played with Robin van Persie and later in a team with Georginio Wijnaldum and Doan is of a comparable standard."

"Ritsu will be worth more in the coming months, he is only 20. He is already part of the Japanese team and will be in January at the Asian Cup. "FC Groningen will have to do some duels without the Japanese, but the lump sum can simply be increased. Buijs sees that Doan prefers to choose the Suarez route from FC Groningen to Ajax, Liverpool and FC Barcelona. "In Ajax, he can continue to grow."
