Donny van de Beek Summer Transfer Odds

Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek will be subject to a lot of interest from clubs in Europe, following a turbulent first season at Old Trafford which has seen the Dutch midfielder play just 311 minutes of Premier League football so far this campaign.

The Holland international was signed from Ajax last summer for £40m to give competition to the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba in United’s midfield, however, following limited playing time on the pitch, as well as a couple of lacklustre performances in United’s 3-2 wins over the likes of West Ham and Liverpool earlier on in the season, the Dutchman could be put out of his misery this summer.

Van de Beek’s former club Ajax are the favourites to sign the Dutch midfielder. The 23-year-old was a huge fan favourite in his time at the Johan Cruyff Arena and was part of the Ajax side that reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2018/19, narrowly missing out on a place in the final via a stoppage-time winner by Tottenham’s Lucas Moura.

This move would make sense, as it would be a homecoming, despite Ajax CEO and former United legend Edwin van der Sar regularly telling his former player to stick it out at Old Trafford. A move back to the Netherlands would definitely put the midfielder back in his comfort zone where he could perform to the same levels that saw the likes of Real Madrid interested last summer.

Inter Milan are the next European giant on this list, as Antonio Conte has seemingly been searching for more central midfielders to add to his squad.

Inter have a good relationship with United, having signed the likes of Ashley Young, Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku with the initial two being players that United were struggling to shift from their wage books.

With Conte’s relationship with Christian Eriksen being patched up, it looks unlikely that the Denmark international will leave, although Inter doesn’t actually have any natural cover to play as an attacking midfielder, and with high-quality options in the centre of the pitch looking sparse behind the likes of Arturo Vidal and Marcelo Brozovic, Inter could perhaps be a perfect fit for van de Beek.

Conte’s side are priced at 9/1 to sign a fourth player directly from Manchester United in the space of just three years.

French champions PSG are also rumoured to be interested in making a move for van de Beek.

It is no secret that manager Mauricio Pochettino was a big admirer of the Dutch midfielder when he was playing for Ajax. Having failed to take him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, this could perhaps present itself as a perfect opportunity for the Argentinian to take the Dutchman to the home of the French champions.

The centre of PSG’s midfield lacks creativity and goals, as the likes of Ander Herrera, Gana Gueye, Rafinha or Leandro Paredes are often lined up alongside Marco Verratti, and with German midfielder Julian Draxler’s contract running out in the summer, van de Beek would be a player that would fit the bill for the Parisians.

PSG are priced at 10/1 to sign van De Beek from United, which would see the 23-year-old follow the same career path as the likes of Angel Di Maria and Herrera.

The final team on this list are AC Milan. The Serie A outfit are looking to compete for their first league title since 2011 and look as though they may ultimately fall short to their city rivals Inter Milan in their pursuit this season.

However, AC Milan are building a squad for the first time in nearly a decade that looks like it could go places. The Rossoneri still lacks goals in their team, as they are 13 behind top scorers Inter on this statistic, with their top scorer in central midfield being Frank Kessie with nine goals in 29 matches, before dropping to just two with Hakan Calhanoglu, whose contract expires in the summer.

The centre of midfield is an area that AC needs to desperately sort out if they are to challenge at the summit of Italian football on a regular basis once again, and the signing of van de Beek’s ilk could be just the answer, as prior to moving to Old Trafford, he managed ten goals and 11 assists over 37 appearances for Ajax in the 2019/20 campaign.

Van de Beek is priced at 12/1 to move to AC and play for three of the same teams as legendary Sweden and Rossoneri striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
