Former PSV Eindhoven president Harry van Raay has slammed Chelsea winger Arjen Robben.
The Sunday Mirror says Van Raay wrote in his autobiography: "We sold Robben for £12m to Chelsea.
"I did the deal in London with Peter Kenyon. It was a hell of a transfer for our club and not least for the player himself.
"Robben was going to earn a fortune, £2.5m a year. Never in his life he had been earning that kind of money.
"We don't pay badly at PSV in Holland, but the boy was still multiplying his wages by a huge amount.
"When I arrived back home, our club were crowned champions in the Dutch league.
"I went to congratulate all the players in the changing room and I asked Arjen if he was happy. He was a champion, he'd had a great season and he'd got his dream transfer to a massive club in England.
"PSV had been very good to him. We co-operated with the transfer, because we did not want to block him at a crucial point in his career.
"Yet, we could have held on to him because he was still under contract for a number of years and there were lots of other buyers at a later stage.
"I was absolutely knocked back when Robben turned to me and said that he was not happy because PSV had promised him a bonus of a few thousand euros once he had reached so many appearances."
Van Raay, 70, who stepped down as PSV president last year, added: "I couldn't believe my ears. It was a clause in the contract which I did not even know about. He had done that verbal deal with Frank Arnesen a year before. He had just become a multi-millionaire and started to moan about such a little thing. He just kept moaning about his little bonus!
"I was so disappointed with him I walked away without saying another word to him.
"Robben really got me down that day. My wheel chair-bound son had just had a massive operation that week. To me there were far more important things in life. But to Robben it was about his money."
