Manchester United has made the most shocking case of price drop ever.

European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported on his personal SNS on the 10th (Korea time) that `Donnie van de Beek is moving to Girona.' Romano said the transfer was completed with the phrase 'Here we go'.

Van der Beek was once one of the top prospects to represent Ajax in the Netherlands along with Frankie Theyong, Julian Timber and Hakim Ziyech. He also led Ajax to the semifinals of the European Champions League in the 2018-2019 season with a tremendous performance when coach Tenhach led Ajax.

During the Ajax days, Van der Beek received great attention from big clubs for his active activity in the midfield, intelligent play using his colleagues, and penetration ability. The first team to reach out to Van der Beek was Manchester United. Manchester United strengthened its midfield by recruiting Van der Beek ahead of the 2020-2021 season.However, Van der Beek's career at Manchester United was destroyed. I couldn't find the ability that Ajax showed. He struggled with injuries and sluggishness, and in the 2021-2022 season, he sought a rebound opportunity called Everton's loan in the winter transfer market, but it did not change much.

Expectations have resurfaced that Tenhach's appointment to Manchester United last season will change, but it has not worked. Coach Tenhach also did not use Van der Beek, who often left due to injury, but started Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Scott McTominay more often. In fact, it was nothing short of giving up on Van der Beek.

Van der Beek, who wanted to play, opted for a loan in the 2023-2024 winter transfer market. Bundesliga Eintracht Frankfurt reached out and got a chance. However, there was no rebound in Frankfurt. Frankfurt, which had a complete transfer option of 13 million euros (about 20 billion won), did not execute it and returned Van der Beek as it was.

In the end, Van der Beek is expected to leave the team for a very cheap transfer fee, with Manchester United deciding to sell. According to Romano, Van der Beek's transfer fee is 500,000 euros (about 700 million won), which has an additional bonus clause, but if it is not met, Manchester United can recover only 1% of the transfer fee.

Van der Beek also expressed his regret for leaving Manchester United without playing well.

Through his personal SNS, he said, "'Today is a memorable day because my adventure at the club is over.'" Thank you for your support so far. From the moment I arrived at Manchester United, I was very welcomed and grateful for that. I would also like to thank all the fans for making this unforgettable year. In addition to soccer, Manchester will always have a special place in our hearts as we have had the birth of two children here. Good luck to everyone. I hope to see you again,' he said, leaving a final greeting.
