Mario Melchiot thinks Donny van de Beek should only join Real Madrid if they can give him assurances of his role in the first team.
The Liga giants were strongly linked with signing the Netherlands international in the summer transfer window although he ended up staying put in Amsterdam.
And former Chelsea defender Melchiot has warned Van de Beek against making a move away from Ajax that could limit his playing time, citing Davy Klaassen's struggles at Everton.
"I like Van de Beek’s character and the way he plays," he told Goal.
