Ajax star Donny van de Beek 'waiting' for Premier League offer

Donny van de Beek continues to wait for a Premier League offer with the Dutchman likely to leave Ajax this summer.

The Amsterdam outfit have seen a host of their top players leave since their journey to the Champions League semi-finals and the versatile forward could be next.

Van de Beek has attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus in recent months.

A move to Los Blancos was thought to be close before the coronavirus pandemic hit and scuppered the switch.

Van de Beek is happy to stay at Ajax although club director Edwin Van Der Sar confessed he will be allowed to leave if the appropriate fee is offered.

The 23-year-old is open to a switch to England's top flight but has not received any offers as of yet, reports Sky Sports.

Ajax ideally want any deal completed before they begin their season against Sparta Rotterdam on September 13.

Van de Beek's deal at the Johan Cruyff Arena runs until 2022 and he continued to be an influential figure last term with 10 goals in 37 games.

Erik ten Haag, who has led Ajax impressively since taking charge in 2017, has admitted that several of his top players could leave this summer.

He told Dutch newspaper  Het Parool : "The transfer market will start in August. The top leagues are now being played out, so the money flows are maintained. The market value of players will be slightly depressed, but not much.

"Based on their performance and ambition, a number of our players also want to make the move abroad.

"Agreements have been made with Andre Onana, Donny van de Beek and Nicolás Tagliafico, but it remains to be seen whether the market is indeed breaking loose.

"For Onana and Van de Beek, another year of Ajax could certainly be an option, for Tagliafico it is slightly different because of his age."
