Take control of your transfers

For a club with a small budget that traditionally relies on signing free agents, receiving player pitches from Sporting Directors and agents that contain excessive salary demands or transfer fees is a frustrating occurrence for FC Den Bosch.

Likewise, hours can be wasted scouting players only to find out that the financials of any potential signing do not add up for the second division club.

For Den Bosch and their tech-savvy Technical Director Yousuf Sajjad, who at just 30 is one of the youngest in his position in world football, being on TransferRoom gives them the ability to be in greater control of their transfer operations.

On the platform clubs can share their exact requirements in the transfer market with all financial aspects of a deal made transparent, ensuring they receive only relevant player pitches.

Sajjad explained: “What is most useful to us on TransferRoom is the ability to create player ads. It’s about exploring available options for us but at the same time setting certain criteria or parameters. For example, the cost bracket saves us time researching a player that we may not be able to afford at the end anyway.

“A challenge faced from my side is the professionalism when it comes to communicating an interest in a player, both to us and from us. TransferRoom will help us make big strides towards this.”

Grow your network at scale

Direct access to decision makers in more than 650 clubs worldwide will also enable Den Bosch to widen their scope when it comes to bringing in new players.

Sajjad, a former Analyst at Arsenal FC, added: “We are open across all markets where there could be an opportunity to work in, but the domestic market in Holland is key for us. Belgium and Germany are also other markets for us to look at for easier transitions. Players with EU passports in England are also key for us to consider.

“Joining TransferRoom gives us an opportunity to interact with people across the footballing world which directly expands our network.”
