Girona have agreed a deal with United to sign van de Beek in a move that would end the former Ajax player's <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/inside-story-van-de-beek-man-utd-misery/blt9be040f02cfda61f" target="_blank">nightmare spell in Manchester</a>. According to <a href="https://www.relevo.com/futbol/liga-primera/girona-fichara-donny-beek-20240706165156-nt.html" target="_blank">Relevo</a>, an initial €500,000 (£423,000/$542,000) fee has been agreed between the two clubs, significantly less than the £35m (€41m/$45m) they spent on Van de Beek in 2020.

WHAT HAPPENED?

One United fan @utdscope posted on X was simple in his assessment. They said: "Disaster of a deal."Simon Walkden shared the sentiment, saying: "We are so bad at buying and selling players for good value."Fans could not believe the low fee. @UtdTata tweeted: "500k is just crazy."@Aig_space said: "Please ....this must be a joke"@LeLenchLALxUTD found the humour in the deal, saying: "Bro worth a bag of chip."Another fan, Christopher Skanes, was particuarly critical of the deal. He said: "He should be going for 10x that, at the very minimum."Not all United fans were unhappy, and @adam_dworak was able to find some positives. He said: "On one hand, it's funny, but on the other hand, it's better than nothing. Additionally, the club gets rid of his salary from the payroll."

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

While the initial fee is low, <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1809632931259854966" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a> has shared further details about the figures involves and United will reportedly earn more than just half a million Euros when all is said and done, with 'easy' add-ons up to €4/5m and more on top of those. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">🔴⚪️🇳🇱 More on Girona and Donny van de Beek deal. Understand if agreement will be completed early next week also on player side, Manchester United will have big sell-on clause. Small initial fee, easy add-ons up to €4/5m and then more add-ons up to €10/15m. <a href="https://t.co/jRPXKhWOGi">pic.twitter.com/jRPXKhWOGi</a>— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1809632931259854966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 6, 2024</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Van de Beek will have a chance to rebuild his career and recapture his potential as he completes a permanent move to Girona. The Spanish side will also allow van de Beek <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/european-minnows-qualify-revamped-champions-league-2024-25/bltc1ae0fa2023206b5" target="_blank">the chance to impress in the Champions League</a> just as he did for Ajax as he burst onto the scene.
