Real Madrid ‘agree £47m deal with Ajax for Donny van de Beek’

Reports indicate that Spanish giants, Real Madrid, have reached an agreement to acquire highly-rated Dutch midfielder, Donny van de Beek, from Ajax for a fee of €55million (£47m).   Van de Beek's performances in the Champions League last season have made him a sought-after player in European football, leading to interest from several top clubs.   According to Marca, the deal to bring the 22-year-old to the Bernabeu has been finalized, but his arrival is expected next summer.
