JAKARTA - Manchester United Almost got his first recruit this summer. Skysports reports that the Red Devils have agreed on a transfer value to bring in Donny van de Beek from Ajax Amsterdam.
Reporting from Antara, Monday, August 31, the value of the transfer amounted to 40 million euros. However, the recruitment process still has to go through, namely agreeing on personal terms and a medical exam.
United have been monitoring the Netherlands international midfielder for some time. They want to strengthen their midfield and it becomes even more evident when they persistently approach De Beek.
There are reports that Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in signing De Beek, but United are believed to be the strongest candidate.
Ajax coach Erik ten Hag heightened speculation over De Beek's departure when asked about the progress of the transfer ahead of Saturday's friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt.
"There were some developments which saw us save him (De Beek) from the squad today," Ten Hag told Ziggo Sport.
"We'll see what happens. We will make an announcement when there is clarity," he added.
United had hoped to make Jadon Sancho their first summer signing, but the economic problems that followed the COVID-19 pandemic prevented them from reaching an agreement with Borussia Dortmund.
De Beek was also in demand by Real Madrid prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but he has not undergone a medical test or tied a deal with the club in the Spanish capital.
