Donny van de Beek, a midfielder for Manchester United, has had a challenging loan spell with Eintracht Frankfurt. According to his agent, Manchester United is not looking to sell him to any other Premier League club this summer. The 27-year-old joined United from Ajax for a significant amount in 2020, but he has struggled to make a significant impact at Old Trafford and is expected to leave on a permanent deal at the end of the season.
During the second half of the season, van de Beek joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan, but unfortunately, he was unable to secure a regular spot on the team. As a result, the Bundesliga side has decided not to exercise their option to buy him for £9.5 million. Guido Albers, van de Beek's agent, has ruled out a return to Ajax this summer and is now exploring the possibility of a move to La Liga, Serie A, or Ligue 1, as Manchester United is not considering offers from other Premier League clubs.
When asked about the possibility of reuniting with van de Beek after their split in 2021, Albers stated in an interview, "I think that's fantastic. He has been away from me for a while now. For me, it's a great moment in his career to pick up where we left off. We both agreed on going back to basics."
Albers believes that van de Beek has lost some of his spark in recent years and is now eager to prove himself again. He also mentioned that he had reached an agreement with Frankfurt for van de Beek's loan and that the club had an option to buy him until June 30, which they have now decided not to exercise. As a result, van de Beek will officially return to Manchester United, and Albers is currently in talks with the club to discuss his future.
However, Albers has made it clear that van de Beek does not want to stay in the Premier League, and Manchester United does not want that either. He believes that it would not be the best decision for van de Beek's career, and he needs to find a club that plays good football. Albers has also ruled out a return to Ajax and is looking to secure a move to a Spanish, Italian, or French club for van de Beek.
He stated, "My preference would be to find a club in Spain, Italy, or France for Donny. It would be fantastic if I could get him to play as a No.10, just like he did at Ajax. The Dutch have been successful in a certain way in Spanish and Italian football, and I believe Donny would thrive in that environment."
Albers also mentioned that van de Beek was very close to joining Real Sociedad last summer, but the move fell through at the last minute because Erik ten Hag, Ajax's manager, wanted to keep him until the end of the transfer window. As a result, van de Beek ended up at Frankfurt. It remains to be seen where he will end up next, but it is clear that Albers is determined to find the best possible club for his client.
