Sneijder Urges Van de Beek To Join Real Madrid

By Joshua Walters

Wesley Sneijder wants Donny Van de Beek to join Real Madrid and ignore all other offers presented to him by various clubs in the sport.

The Ajax midfielder’s successful season has won him many offers from several clubs in Europe and the former Real Madrid player, Sneijder, believes joining the Los Blancos will be the best option for him.

Speaking with De Telegraaf, Sneijder disclosed his recent talk with Van de Beek about his plans to make a move this summer, as he says choosing Real Madrid will help him.

“I think this is really wonderful for Donny. He deserves it. Don had the most difficult task of all the talents. Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong at Ajax were undisputed from the start, but Van de Beek initially didn't play in the starting XI or was substituted.

“If you have so much character and prove it also in the field means that you deserve to play for Real Madrid. I think his move to Real is better than all the other offers, which are also great. 

"We talked a lot about Real Madrid there too. It's the most beautiful club in the world, period. Just look at his story. Without taking anything away from Ajax, Real Madrid is perfect."

With his impressive 2018/19 season at Ajax, the 22-year-old scored 17 goals in thirty-four league games including his four goals and two assists in the Champions League.

Van de Beek’s pivotal role for the Eredivisie side saw Ajax reached the semi-final of the Champions League for the first time in 22 years.

The midfielder has been monitored by Real Madrid as an alternative for Paul Pogba as they see the Dutch midfielder to cost a lot less than the Manchester United midfielder.
