AFC Ajax has recently lost an appeal and must now pay two million euros to the scouting agency GIC. This amount is related to the transfers of Lisandro Martínez and Antony. GIC has been working for the club since 2016 and was entitled to a fee under the agreement that was made. Ajax believed that GIC could no longer derive rights from this agreement, as the agency had agreed to a letter from the club in June 2020. In this letter, it was stated that GIC granted final discharge for all payments under the scouting agreement. The club thought this also meant that GIC waived any future claims. However, the court ruled that the agreement only applied to payments that were owed and paid up to the signing of the letter. This means that GIC still has the right to compensation for future transfers. The ruling has significant implications for AFC Ajax, especially in light of their financial situation and future transfer strategies.
