Real Madrid have moved into pole position to sign Ajax’s £100million-rated Donny van Beek – just three months after Manchester United decided against signing the midfielder for almost a third of the price, reports Mirror.
United failed to make a move for the 22-year-old Dutch international after his Amsterdam club quoted the Reds a £35million asking price.
And now Real have stepped up their efforts to land Van Beek at the end of the season – and have made it clear that they will not be put off by Ajax’s dramatically inflated valuation.
Van Beek, who came thought the famed Ajax academy, was in the team beaten by United in the 2017 Europa League final.
He has since developed into one of Europe’s top goalscoring midfielders.
Van Beek helped Ajax to a Dutch double last season and scored against Tottenham in the Champions League semi-finals.
He scored 12 times last season and has already helped himself to three in the current campaign.
United targeted Van Beek when it seemed like they were going to lose Paul Pogba to either Real or Juventus .
But they reeled back their interest when Ajax quoted them a price and the club decided that Pogba was staying at Old Trafford.

We don't need him in my opinion, we already got James and isco, while talking about his age we got odegaard and kubo

Not for 100 Million €. He isn't better than De Jong whom you signed for a much lower price irrespective of the time when you did so.
not too much 85€m

we can spend 80 m on McGuire when we had 6 good options but can't buy van de beek when he is the type United needs.. players that love football and are good at it and not overrated players with super agents. what's wrong with United these days.

Mo, Madrid already have ceballos, odeegard, and top class mid fielders on loan so no need to waste money on these players. Madrid should raise fund to land the likes mbappe and top class players next Summer.
