His pops said that it would have been wiser to stay in Amsterdam for another year. Word on the streets is that his mom/kluivert's ex wife wanted some millions and mino raiola - same agent that Pogba, Zlatan etc have - made it happen lol.
Hopefully he ll make it in Rome though, Lord knows Holland needs quality strikers.

Hasnt Kluivert got annother son who is a star in the making too???
I think most agents are parasites, unfortunately even family member agents often see dollar signs too and fck over their kids careers...

Show some love, you losers!
United fans....
Manchester United fans vote for their greatest ever Premier League XI
Red Devils took to an online vote to determine the finest team of their recent history, with a star-studded line-up seeing some top talent miss out.
The poll was hosted on the club's official website, with fans around the world piling in to have their say.
In goal the fanbase have opted for David de Gea, despite Peter Schmeichel going down as one of the finest goakeepers to have ever graced English football.
The back line served up by the vote would probably go down as one of the most impenetrable in world football.
Class of '92 Gary Neville was installed at right back, while Rio Ferdinand's partnership with Nemanja Vidic has a special place in the hearts of fans and was reflected by the vote.
Fellow stalwart Patrice Evra, as expected, took the left back slot keeping out the likes of club ambassador Denis Irwin.
Hall of famers Paul Scholes and Roy Keane formed the midfield axis for the side, with the reliable Ryan Giggs taking up his favoured left wing.
The right flank was reserved for none other than Cristiano Ronaldo, who United fans still to this day hold dear in their hearts despite his world record move to Real Madrid in 2009.
In the striking area it was heartbreak for Ruud van Nistlerooy, who was snubbed by fans despite his prolific record for the Red Devils.
All-time leading goalscorer Wayne Rooney got the nod, while the controversial maestro Eric Cantona partnered him up top.
UNITED'S GREATEST EVER XI
Goalkeeper: David de Gea
Defence: Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra
Midfield: Cristiano Ronaldo, Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs
Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Eric Cantona

Can't argue with anyone but I'd go Stam for Vidic
Manchester United forward Anthony Martial wants to leave the club this summer according to his agent who said the "time has come" to move on.
Philippe Lamboley claims United want to extend Martial's deal and do not want the Frenchman to leave.
But he said: "We have not reached an agreement for several months."
Martial, 22, scored 11 goals in 45 appearances last season, but saw his opportunities limited by the arrival of Alexis Sanchez in January.
Lamboley said Martial, who joined United for £36m in September 2015, was "disappointed because he has shown his love for the club and the supporters for three seasons".
"After thinking about all the factors and possibilities, Anthony wants to leave Manchester United," Lamboley told French news outlet RMC Sport."There are lots of factors, and right now it's too early to talk about them.
"I think that when United, the most powerful club in the world, do not find an agreement after eight months of negotiations then they do not really want to keep such an important player in their squad. That's why this decision has come - it's a well-thought-out decision.
"Everyone will have their opinion but I think he needs to resume his career. The time has come."
Martial has won the EFL Cup, FA Cup and Europa League with United.

Lol, is this supposed to be disrespectful? Overmars was such a dope player. I was such a big fan of his Ajax teams. Him and Finidi George terrorizing Fullbacks all game long. Kanu and Kluivert off the bench.
Man, that Ajax squad might be the greatest club team I have ever seen.
Yeah I was just thinking of that team and best champions league winner teams.
AC MILAN was strong too, shameful to have lost to Pool in 05

Premier League fixtures 2018-19: Man City visit Arsenal on opening weekend
Champions Manchester City will travel to Arsenal on the weekend of 11-12 August for their opening match of the 2018-19 Premier League season.
Tottenham visit Newcastle first, then play Fulham at Wembley while their new £850m stadium is completed.
Manchester United host Leicester City, Liverpool entertain West Ham, and Championship winners Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Everton to Molineux.
Promoted Fulham host Crystal Palace, while Cardiff visit Bournemouth.
The three other fixtures on the opening weekend see Chelsea travel to Huddersfield, Southampton host Burnley, and Watford take on Brighton at Vicarage Road.
New Arsenal boss Emery's tricky spells
Arsenal go into the season under new management after Unai Emery succeeded Arsene Wenger, who has left after 22 years in charge.
And the Spaniard has been given a testing opening to life in the Premier League.
After the opening-weekend game at Emirates Stadium, the Gunners travel to fellow top-six contenders Chelsea.
Emery also has a tough start to December, with a home north London derby against Tottenham on 1 December followed by a trip to Manchester United.
Spurs set for Liverpool showpiece
Tottenham begin the season with three away games in their opening four league matches as they wait to play at their new home.
Their one home fixture in that run - against promoted Fulham - will take place at Wembley on the weekend of 18-19 August.
Spurs' first match at their new stadium - built on land adjacent to their former home White Hart Lane - will be against Liverpool on the weekend of 15-16 September.
Prior to that they will run a series of test events.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino said the new stadium would be "worth the wait", adding: "We discussed the timings and the ability to play away games and I think it is a good solution to have an earlier home game.
"Wembley was great for us last season and we are even more used to that than we are the new stadium."
Reds pre-Europe travels
The Premier League has released dates for all 380 matches, but none have been allotted kick-off times as broadcasters are yet to decide which games will be televised.
The Champions League group stage will commence on 18-19 September, and last season's beaten finalists Liverpool face an away Premier League fixture before all of their six group games. That includes trips to Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.
Manchester United and Spurs are away four times before group games, while Manchester City are on the road twice before European fixtures.
Fulham's London start
Four rounds of Premier League fixtures are scheduled before the first international break, which is on the weekend of 8-9 September.
Few supporters will relish the new campaign more than those of Wolves, Cardiff City and Fulham, who all return to the Premier League from the Championship.
Wolves, who won the Championship by nine points, follow the visit of Everton with a trip to 2016-17 champions Leicester, and visit Liverpool on the final day of the campaign.
Fulham begin with London derbies against Crystal Palace and Tottenham, while Cardiff follow their opener at Bournemouth with a home game against Newcastle.
