Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek

Real Madrid offer for Ajax’s Donny van de Beek

Real Madrid are one of eight clubs to hold an interest in Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek, according to a report in Diario AS.

The 22-year-old Dutch international netted 17 goals last season, including the only goal in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Tottenham.

A report from Marca this weekend claimed that the Dutch champions value the midfielder at €65m but Madrid do not want to pay in excess of €50m to secure his signature.

The report continues that the midfielder is viewed as a cheaper alternative to Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba, who could cost a minimum of €150m.

Van de Beek’s teammate Frenkie de Jong has already agreed an €86m switch to Barcelona this summer while defender and club captain Matthijs de Ligt has also been linked with a big money move.

The central midfielder has spent the entirety of his professional career at the Amsterdam-based giants and has won international recognition for the Netherlands.

Madrid have spent over €300m in transfer fees already this summer with Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo Goes and Eder Militao among the arrivals.
