Donny van de Beek, currently sidelined at Manchester United, has surprisingly expressed interest in joining Barcelona as a potential replacement for the injured Gavi.
The club’s objective at Camp Nou is to secure the services of another midfielder to strengthen Xavi’s squad, particularly during the recovery period of the talented teenager Gavi, who is ruled out for the season due to an ACL injury.
A potential loan agreement could materialize in the winter transfer window, and as per SPORT, Donny van de Beek is willing to embrace the opportunity in Catalonia.
The Dutch midfielder, who has seen limited action at Manchester United this season with only 21 minutes of playing time in two substitute appearances in the Carabao Cup and Premier League, is open to a move to Barcelona.
Since his transfer from Ajax to Old Trafford in 2020, Donny van de Beek has faced challenges making a significant impact and is in dire need of a fresh opportunity to revive his career.
Having previously spent time on loan at Everton due to limited playing time in Manchester, Van de Beek has communicated to Barcelona his eagerness to seize the opportunity to contribute to their cause.
Despite ongoing talks with Serie A powerhouse Juventus for a potential six-month loan to Turin, Donny van de Beek may opt for a move to Barcelona if the Catalans express interest.
The Dutch midfielder could favor joining Barcelona alongside compatriot and former Ajax teammate Frenkie de Jong.
