Donny van de Beek almost moved to Real Madrid before the coronavirus pandemic
Donny van de Beek was left out of the Ajax squad for the Dutch champions’ friendly with Eintracht Frankfurt, with a transfer potentially imminent.
Reports in the Netherlands suggest that Van de Beek is about to walk away from Ajax, with Manchester United having scrutinized him extensively, one of several stakeholders, and that is why he did not take part in the preparation match.
In May, Ajax CEO Edwin van der Sar confirmed that the midfielder will be allowed to leave, but only for an appropriate fee.
Van de Beek came close to signing for Real Madrid before the coronavirus pandemic but did not complete a medical review or sign an agreement with the club.
It is understood that Van de Beek will consider a move to the Premier League, as Sky Sports News reported in January, but Ajax have yet to receive any formal offers from any club this summer.
United are one of several clubs monitoring the situation, and Van de Beek is a potential option if they decide to reinforce the ranks in midfield. Jadon Sancho, however, remains his number one target.
