According to a recent report from Sport, both Barcelona and Real Madrid are set to go toe to toe in an attempt to sign Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek. The 22 year old has been heavily linked with a move away from the Dutch club for a while now, with many believing that he would wind up leaving this past summer – but it wasn’t to be.
Ajax were able to keep hold of him but now that the Dutch giants have slipped down into the Europa League, it would appear as if van de Beek is seriously considering his options.
Out of the two aforementioned sides the belief is that Real are in the driving seat regarding negotiations, as they’ve already spoken with the Dutchman’s agent.
VDB is set to cost between £41.5 million and £50 million depending on the final arrangement they come to, and either way, it would appear as if Ajax will do well to hold onto him.
