Cristian Willaert explains the controversy surrounding Mislintat
The issue conflicts with the rules that the listed club must adhere to.
Sven Mislintat, director of football affairs Ajax bought a player through a business relationship on the final day of the transfer market. It shows from research by the NOS. According to NOS, it concerns defender Borna Sosa. The deal was done through a German brokerage firm, which owns shares in a private company owned by Mislintat. The issue conflicts with the rules that the listed club must adhere to.
The Amsterdam team told ESPN: “Before Sven Mislintat was appointed, we were already aware of his shareholding in Matchmetrics. Contractual agreements were made about this at the time. Until we received questions yesterday, Ajax was not aware of a shareholding that AKA Global GmbH in Matchmetrics. We naturally discussed this with Sven. He provided a detailed explanation. He stated that an investment round took place in 2020 in which various parties invested in Matchmetrics.”
“When making the agreements regarding the investment, it was immediately agreed that this loan would be converted into a 3% shareholding at a later date, according to Sven. Ajax is of course looking into this further and is being assisted by external advisors. Sven provides full cooperation, including sharing all relevant documents,” said a spokesperson.
Cristian Willaert, who is following Ajax closely this season, explains. “Arthur Beck is the agent in question. He is a business friend of Mislintat. Or even a good friend. He likes to do business with them. A player I know who also came through him is Diant Ramaj, the goalkeeper Even then something happened that was irregular. It is not something that only happened on the last day of the transfer market,” said Willaert.
There is also a reason why Sosa’s transfer took place on the final day. “The interesting thing about Sosa’s transfer is that he was with an agent with a contract that expired on August 31. They waited until the last day so that Beck could be inserted on September 1.”
