Donny van de Beek leaving has certainly made everyone at the Dutch side very emotional.
Last week, Ajax CEO and former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar penned an open letter to his old club, urging them to “take good care of our Donny, and help him dream.”
“Like you, we pride ourselves on being one of the best at developing talent and giving young players a shot at the highest level,” van der Sar wrote. “You could say your new star is the embodiment of that pride.”
“That’s one of many reasons we don’t like to see him leave, but we understand it’s time for him to move on. To dream on.”
“And where better to do that than your theatre. Trust me, I know.”
Donny van de Beek joined Ajax when he was just 17, and progressed through their academy to become a vital member of the first team.
In 2017, he played against his new club in the Europe League final, with Ajax losing 2-0 to Manchester United.
van de Beek would go on to win both the Eredivisie and the KNVB Cup with Ajax in 2019.
He has also established himself in the Dutch national side, earning himself 12 caps so far.
