Fortuna Sittard has made a profit of about six million euros over the last three seasons. And chairman Isitan Gün expects much more income for the Limburgers.
In conversation with Fanatik, Gün talks about Fortuna’s successful transfer policy in recent years. “With a small budget, we made a profit of six million euros in three years,” says the president. “We made three million euros from the departure of Perr Schuurs to Ajax, with a resale percentage of fifteen percent. The current market price of Perr, a player that has cost us nothing, is now around twenty million euros.”
“We sold Mark Diemers to Feyenoord for 1.5 million euros plus bonuses. We paid 80.000 euros for him. And we collected Amadou Ciss for 160.000 euros in the third division of France and sold 1.2 million euros to Amiens. Tel how much potential we have with a larger budget, “said Gün, who is discussing investments with the well-known Turkish businessman Acun Ilicali. Those conversations are ‘going well’.
Gün already has his next ‘moneymaker’ in mind. “There is a seventeen-year-old player in Italy that we watched for a year. A talent that will conquer the world in the future. The goal is to get him here before anyone else finds him. It would be a spectacular transfer.”
