Tottenham have given up 15 billion won for Werwein.
[골닷컴] Correspondent Choi Dae-hoon = Although Tottenham Hotspur has a strong image of being an idiot due to Daniel Levy’s chairman, this time he showed the same side as a big man. Tottenham have given up on that for Steven Berwein, even though they could make more money.
The end of the long Berwein transfer saga is in sight. Mike Berbai, who was familiar with the news of Ajax on the 4th (Korean time), said through his social media, “Tottenham and Ajax have completed the Berbain transfer fee negotiations. The transfer fee is 30 million euros (about 40 billion won) and the contract period is until 2027.”

And about 20 minutes later, Berbai further reported that “Everton and Manchester United wanted to pay the £35 million Tottenham requirement, but Berwein wanted to go to Ajax”.
According to Berbai’s report, Tottenham have completed negotiations with Ajax for Berwein, despite the fact that Tottenham could make about 15 billion won in profit.
Tottenham Hotspur has had a strong image of ‘a nerdy’ and a ‘businessman’ because of President Levy. Chairman Levi used all sorts of tactics to recruit players at a relatively low price, while he insisted on only high prices when selling players, resulting in a difference of likes and dislikes among fans.
However, at least in the transfer of Berwein, it seems that ‘player’ rather than ‘money’ was given priority. Berbein, who lost his place at Tottenham Hotspur, needed to manage his condition and recover his performance in order to participate in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
So, Ajax showed interest in Berwein, but it was difficult to negotiate a transfer fee. Meanwhile, Everton and Manchester United sent a love call to Werwein. Although Tottenham have asked for a higher transfer fee than Ajax, the two clubs have agreed to accept it.
However, Tottenham rejected the proposals from Manchester United and Everton, giving up about 15 billion won in profit, and signed a deal with Ajax for Berwein’s future.
