Real Madrid is reportedly interested in signing Donny van de Beek, a Manchester United outcast. The former Ajax midfielder has struggled for game time at Old Trafford since joining the Red Devils last summer and is eager to leave the club in January.
Real Madrid will try to sign Donny van de Beek from Manchester United for a low fee in January, according to Fichajes. Donny van de Beek is seen as an ideal replacement for veteran midfielder Luka Modric, who is nearing the end of his career.
Donny van de Beek was an Ajax youth player before making his senior debut in 2015. During the 2016-17 season, he helped the club finish as runners-up in the Europa League. During the 2018-19 season, the Dutch star was instrumental in Ajax’s run to the Champions League semi-finals.
Van de Beek was a key member of the Ajax team that won the Eredivisie and the KNVB Cup in 2018-19. During his five years with the Dutch giants, he scored 41 goals in 175 appearances across all competitions.
Prior to his £35 million moves to Manchester United in the summer of 2020, the Dutchman was one of Europe’s most sought-after midfielders. Van de Beek’s relocation, on the other hand, has turned out to be a nightmare. Last season, he made just 19 Premier League appearances for Manchester United, the majority of which were as a second-half substitute.
Van de Beek has only made five appearances for Manchester United this season in all competitions. The 24-year-old is desperate to leave the club in January and join a team where he will be given regular playing time.
Before making a move for Manchester United’s Donny van de Beek, Real Madrid will need to clear the way for Dani Ceballos and Isco.
Isco and Dani Ceballos have fallen down the Real Madrid pecking order and are now considered fringe players at the Santiago Bernabeu. In recent months, Isco has been linked with a move to Juventus, while Dani Ceballos has piqued the interest of Sevilla and Villarreal.
Real Madrid is also preparing for the loss of veteran midfielders Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. This summer, Los Blancos signed French sensation Eduardo Camavinga from Rennes and are now looking to add van de Beek to their ranks.
