Van de Beek about to sign for Real Madrid

Real Madrid have not finished in the transfer window and there is the need to sign a midfield player. The priority is Paul Pogba, but the transfer window closes on 8th August in the Premier League. 

The club are encountering too many problems in signing one of the players Zidane wants most and the same is happening with Eriksen. Therefore, the only other option is Van de Beek. 

The Dutch player also stood out last season with Ajax and played 57 matches. He scored 17 goals and gave 13 assists so he would be a very good signing. 

In recent hours rumours have grown and it has been Van de Beek himself who has confirmed Real Madrid's interest to 'FOX Sports': "The truth is that everything remains the same. Of course there is interest and people tend to go too quickly. 

Van de Beek was asked if this interest is related to the difficulty of getting Paul Pogba. "I haven't heard anything about that, but it could be. I don't have to say what is true or not and I am focussed on Saturday's match. The rest is stuff from the media," he continued. 

The coach Ten Hag assured that Ajax will do everything possible so that Van de Beek does not leave: "We will do everything possible to leave, but when these clubs come calling it's complicated."
