Ajax line-up van de Beek replacement amid Man Utd, Real Madrid interest

Ajax have lined up a replacement for Donny van de Beek amid interest from Manchester United.

United are seeking to find a playmaker this summer, with Aston Villa's Jack Grealish their preferred target.

But that hasn't stopped their interest in van de Beek, who could cost significantly less than Grealish.

And according to VI, Ajax are lining up another Netherlands international in Davy Klaassen to replace van de Beek.

Real Madrid are also interested in the 24-year-old, but United are reportedly preparing a €40m to rival the Spanish giants.

Van de Beek has played 175 times for Ajax in five seasons, winning one Eredivisie title.
