Real Madrid wants to pay €50m for Ajax star

Real Madrid recently planned on signing Paul Pogba, however, the Frenchman's high price tag, which Manchester United sets at €167m, got the Real Madrid board a shock and seeking a cheaper alternative.

Paul Pogba's huge price tag may lead to Real Madrid end up not buying him

Donny van de Beek, who scored against Tottenham in the Champions League, is a top target given his youth and ability. Los Blancos had asked the Eradivisie champions for the player and Ajax sealed a price tag of between €50-60m in the 22-year old.

At least van de Beek's €50-60m price is a more reasonable one instead of Man United's on Paul Pogba, who is valued at €167m.

Real Madrid's board found his price tag reasonable and are willing to splash the money to Ajax for the youngster.
