It Cost the Los Angeles Aztecs
$1.4 Million to Go Dutch with Johan Cruyff...
Johan Cruyff signed with the Aztecs for a reported $1.4 million over two years after turning down, so it was said, a $5 million offer from the New York Cosmos. "I wanted to try to build up soccer where it wasn't popular," he explains. "Besides, the weather is warmer in L.A." Because the Cosmos owned the rights to Cruyff, they demanded $600,000 to let the Aztecs sign him. Johan admits he has lost money on investments in Europe, but says it was love of the game that brought him back. He also plans to start a string of soccer camps in the U.S.
