AC Milan are keen on signing Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek and are ready to shell out €20 million for the Dutchman.
According to Fichajes, AC Milan are eager to provide Donny van de Beek an escape route from his Manchester United hell with a move in the summer. The Serie A giants are willing to pay €20 million for the Dutchman as they seek midfield reinforcements following the departure of Sandro Tonali.
AC Milan are aiming to make smart moves in this transfer window as they were recently provided with a cash injection. The surprise sale of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle United has provided the Serie A giants with funds to reinforce their squad.
Stefano Pioli will focus on strengthening the midfield following the Italian midfielder’s departure. AC Milan have signed Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea, but the manger wants more depth in the position. Hence, they are now willing to make an offer to sign Donny van de Beek from Manchester United.
The Manchester United midfielder has been a masive flop since his high-profile €39 million move from Ajax. He had hoped to make a mark under former manager Erik ten Hag but seems destined to leave the club after some underwhelming displays.
A serious injury cut his season short, but ten Hag does not see any future at Old Trafford for his former charge. Hence, the Red Devils could use the Dutchman to generate some much-needed funds in the market that would in turn fuel their own transfers.
Manchester United had reportedly tried to offer him to another Serie A club, AS Roma. But the overall interest in the Dutch midfielder seems minimal. The Red Devils would certainly welcome AC Milan’s entry in the chase. But much will depend on their overall valuation of the player.
The Serie A giants are willing to pay €20 million, but Manchester United may seek more. Milan are unlikely to go anywere beyond that figure and will look to have thorough talks before making a firm decision. Pioli likes the player but will also have reports showing him his injury records from recent seasons.
A move away from Old Trafford would hep van de Beek revive his faltering career, and a new environment like in Milan would help his cause. He could find his previous form and return to the national team plans. For now, these are only mild reports indicating a interest, which has the legs to become concrete.
