Nigerian stronghold: Bassey to Amsterdam for 26.5 million euros

It is not a frequent case, anywhere in the world it is a real rarity, that clubs publish the amount paid for the transfer of a football player on their official websites. Ajax, however, did so and disclosed how much money 22-year-old defender Calvin Bassey was hired for.The Nigerian international arrived from Glasgow Rangers for 23 million euros fixed, with a potential 3.5 million through bonuses. Short and clear, without twisting and hiding. As an example to others.The contract was signed for five years, until June 30, 2027, and the promotion took place during the pre-season of the Dutch champion in Austria.From Glasgow to Amsterdam.He’s here ❌❌❌ pic.twitter.com/D0cjOh4cbO— AFC Ajax (@AFCAjax) July 20, 2022 Calvin Bassey was one of Rangers’ best footballers last season, demonstrating his talent on multiple fronts. Even though Rangers lost to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League final in May this year, Bassey was one of the best players on the Scottish team. He arrived in Glasgow two years ago as a free agent from Leicester. The impression is that they did not evaluate him well in England, given that they let him leave the club quite easily.By the way, we are talking about a guy born in Italy, on December 31, 1999, in the small town of Aosta in the north of the country, about a hundred kilometers away from Turin. Because of this, as well as the fact that he moved to England at the age of 16, and that he has roots from Nigeria, he could theoretically choose which national team he would play for from those three countries. Bassey chose Nigeria and has already amassed six caps.##NAJAVA_MECA_6518741##
