Escape? Tenghager had thought that the striker who signed £34 million is now worth less than 8.5 million

Tenhager was removed from his position as Manchester United coach in October last year, when his side ranked 13th in the Premier League, according to Dutch media reports. When Tenhager was still a head coach, the Dutch coach had intended to sign the Ajax striker Brian Broby for £34 million, but ultimately failed to do so, and the Red Devils seemed to escape.

United spent more than £600 million in transfer fees during his coaching at Tenhager, but thankfully they avoided the Dutch striker, who is currently worth only £8.5 million. The 23-year-old, who played for Ajax for Tenhager, was supposed to be the fourth player to be signed from the Eredivisie.

During his two years at Tenhager, he signed 16 players including Maracia, Lisandro Martinez and Anthony, but many of them were disappointing.

Dutch journalist Valentine Drisson told Voetbal Primeur: "Tenhager originally wanted to pay him another 40 million euros (34 million pounds), but now they are not willing to pay even 10 million euros (8.5 million pounds)."

Just last January, the Dutch player had a transfer rumor with Manchester United. It is reported that Brian Brobie also appeared on the shortlist of the Premier League giant last summer. When asked about the rumors, the striker said: "I saw this news in the news, but I will stay in Amsterdam.

"Eric and I have no contact. We used to text on WhatsApp, but I think Eric is busy. I also changed a new number. ”

Although Tenhager personally called Brian Broby to try to convince him, he rejected the proposal to transfer to Manchester United in 2022. In an interview with the Telegraph, “Eric (Tenghager) called me and said that at Manchester United, my agent could get millions of euros and my salary could be several times as high as I did in Ajax. But our decision was clear: we wanted to stay in Ajax. ”

Brobi joined Ajax Academic Camp at the age of eight and then transferred to Bundesliga club RB Leipzig in July 2021. In December 2021, he returned to Ajax, who was then coached by Tenhager on loan.

Brian Brobi performed well during loan, prompting Ajax to renew his contract permanently in July 2022 for a transfer fee of £13.9 million. The 2023-24 season was particularly fruitful for Brobi, who played 43 games in various competitions and scored 22 Goal.

Although Ajax was not doing well overall that season and eventually ranked fifth in the Eredivisie, Brian Brobi was very good, so he was selected to the Netherlands for the 2024 European Cup.

However, his form has declined this season, with the striker scoring only seven goals and contributing five assists in 42 matches in various competitions. According to the latest data from Germany, Brian Brobi's current net worth has dropped to 8.5 million pounds.
