Donny van de Beek is one of Ronald Koeman’s priorities for this summer. The coach knows the Ajax player very well from his time in the Netherlands and believes that he could be a luxury reinforcement for a midfield that needs to rejuvenate with young players and with a different profile than what already exists. In the case of the ‘ajacied’, he fulfills both things, since there is no medium like him in FC Barcelona and he is also only 23 years old.
However, it seems that the Dutch team asks about 55 million euros for his young star, a price too high for a Barça that does not have too much money to sign in this market. The culés have almost impossible the signing unless he makes a lot of money with the ‘exit operation’, something unlikely in a context of crisis like the one we are experiencing at the moment. But luckily, there is an alternative that is echoed in ‘Mundo Deportivo’.
He Ajax wants that Luis Suarez go back to what was your home for several seasons before landing in Liverpool. The Dutch have already approached the environment of the charrúa and have informed Barça of their interest. In fact, it is said that they would be willing to pay about 20 ‘kilos’ for it. The problem is that the forward does not want to leave the Camp Nou, as he recently recognized, so his desire conditions the transfer.
But if the attacker changed his mind and was willing to play in Amsterdam, the arrival of Van de Beek at Barcelona would be a more than real possibility. In this case, in ‘MD’ they ensure that the culés could offer to the Uruguayan and about 20-25 million for the Dutch. According to this information, the ‘ajacied’ value the medium at 45-50 ‘kilos’, so the Catalans would value the one from Salto at 25 or 30 million. Everything indicates that those of the capital of Holland would agree with the proposal.
In addition, in Can Barça they would be willing to round off the offer by offering some jewel of the Masia to be fired in the Eredivisie. Everything would fit in this case, since Donny is delighted with the possibility of meeting Koeman again in Barcelona. But this operation that would be so positive for both parties has an important problem that must be mentioned. That but is none other than the very high record of Suárez, which could prevent the exchange from taking place.
Suárez’s salary, the main inconvenience for bartering
The ‘9’ is earning about 15 million at Barça, a salary that Ajax could not pay him in three lives. In the Dutch team they can’t even get close to that figure and maybe at most they could pay him a third of what he charges. So that the barter could be carried out, the ex of the Liverpool would have to lower the salary much, or failing that, the Catalans should give him a substantial settlement so that it will pay off for him to forgive that money. The truth is that both things seem complicated, although in the club they maintain the hope of being able to make this exchange.
