Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek has confirmed that Real Madrid have shown an interest in him and insists he is not concerned by reports he is their second choice target after Paul Pogba.
The 22-year-old has been tipped to follow Matthijs de Ligt and Frenkie de Jong out of Ajax this summer after playing a starring role in the Dutch side’s run to the Champions League semi-finals last season.
Real Madrid are among a host of top European sides credited with an interest in the midfielder as Los Blancos continue their squad rebuild under returning boss Zinedine Zidane.
