'Permanent sale': £90,000-per-week Man Utd flop set to leave Old Trafford - Fabrizio Romano
Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek is set for a permanent transfer to La Liga side Girona.
According to reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano, a permanent deal has been agreed upon between the two clubs but personal terms will be discussed next week.
The transfer could rise to £3/4 million based on appearances he makes.
Van de Beek moved to United from Ajax in a deal worth £35 million in 2020. He featured 62 times for the Red Devils over the last four years.
He was sent on loan spells to Everton and Eintracht Frankfurt in the second half of the 2021/22 of 2023/24 season respectively.
A tragic chapter for Donny van de Beek and Man United ends
A report suggests that Man United are receiving only £430,000 for the sale of Van de Beek.
We believe the transfer fee involved is embarrassing but the Premier League giants could not have hoped for anything better.
The 27-year-old has had a terrible stay with United. Poor form and recurrent injuries always pulled him down.
It prevented him from replicating the dazzling heights he achieved at Ajax.
It was pivotal for United to let him off this summer as his contract expires next season.
He is on a £90,000-per-week contract with the Red Devils. His departure will free up some space on the wage bill.
A move to La Liga might bring his career back on track, considering his style of play could suit the Spanish football.
Girona secured Champions League football through a third-placed finish in La Liga last season.
If Van de Beek agrees with this switch, he will link up with his former team-mate Daley Blind.
United have set their sights on signing a new midfielder with Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte being identified as the top target.
The rise of young talent Kobbie Mainoo, coupled with the blockbuster signing of Mason Mount last summer, signals that United is well-equipped in the midfield.
