Ajax midfielder - Donny Van De Beek - was on the radar of multiple European clubs last summer after he impressed during the Dutch club's sensational run to the UEFA Champions League semis. However, he opted to remain in Holland for another year despite the departures of Frenkie De Jong to Barcelona and Mathijs De Ligt to Juventus. Now, Real Madrid are said to be considering a €55m bid for Donny Van De Beek in the upcoming summer transfer window. What could that mean for the respective futures of Luka Modric and Isco at Real Madrid?

Real Madrid have re-established themselves as title challengers this season under Zinedine Zidane. They remain in contention to make the UCL knockout stages as well with a mouth-watering tie against Manchester City awaiting them in the Round of 16. A rumoured move for Donny Van De Beek could add some much needed young blood in the Madrid midfield with Luka Modric and Isco looking set for a summer exit from the Bernabeu in the summer. Modric and Isco share a total of 400+ appearances for Real Madrid between themselves, but are reportedly not a part of Zidane’s plans for Real Madrid in the coming years. Modric is rumoured to be edging for a move to the MLS or China while Isco is on the radar of Manchester City and Chelsea.
