In case you didn’t know…
Van de Beek scored 17 goals and provided 13 assists for Ajax during the 2018-19 season, including four goals and two assists in the Champions League. The Dutch sensation was vital to his side’s dream UEFA Champions League run last year.
As a result, he has drawn the attention of top clubs across Europe. With his colleague Frenkie de Jong already signed by Barca, van de Beek could also switch to the La Liga as Real Madrid continue to target the player.
The heart of the matter
In a recent interview, Wesley Sneijder opened up on a small discussion he had with Van de Beek as the youngster seeks fresh advice over making a move this summer with big clubs like Real Madrid and Inter Milan being linked. He told De Telegraaf:
The former Real and Inter star believes that the youngster had an exceptional season as he cemented his place in the squad rising above the ranks and therefore deserves to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
What’s next?
Real Madrid and Zinedine Zidane eye the Ajax star as Paul Pogba’s alternative but are weighing up the move as he would cost a lot less than the Frenchman and is one for the future.
