Former Bayer Leverkusen Goalkeeper Creates ‘Dating App’ For Clubs and Players

By db-admin

DBasia.news – Former Bayer Leverkusen professional goalkeeper Rene Adler created a special app to bring football players and clubs together. The application is considered like Tinder for players and clubs.

The app is called 11TransFair and is designed to be easy to operate and give footballers more control over their future. Adler launched it right in the summer transfer market.

The summer transfer market is usually used as a moment for clubs to strengthen their team by recruiting players ahead of the new season, transfers occur between permanent deals, loans, and also contracts for free agents.

11TransFair was created with the help of players, consultants, coaches, lawyers, to transfer experts. The application is expected by Adler to make it easier for professional footballers.

“I dare call it Tinder for football players and clubs, because we also bring two parties together through matching,” the 36-year-old told BILD.

“It is clear that players are increasingly wanting to take care of their own matters and no longer want to be completely dependent on the work of their advisors.”

“But not every professional can be like absolute top stars Joshua Kimmich or Kevin De Bruyne, who are now negotiating themselves, choosing from the offers he wants.”

How 11TransFair Works

Aimed specifically at professional footballers, they can upload an application and then enter salary requirements and select four key attributes from 20 possible options.

Initially the app was exclusive to the top four football divisions in Germany, and would act as an intermediary exchange between players and clubs.

If the footballer manages to secure a placement, the receiving club will then pay a commission in accordance with FIFA’s recommendations to the application operator.

Adler, who played at Leverkusen from 2008-2013, hopes 11TransFair can become an application in Europe that makes it easier for players to transfer foam.

“We want to bring transparency to a non-transparent market,” added the former Germany goalkeeper.

“So a player can choose not only between Lubeck and Meppen, but maybe a Hungarian and Australian club. They have to find their best career choice,” explained Rene Adler.
