FC Lorient would try to secure the services of an international player with a well-stocked CV…
It’s a big blow that would symbolize the development of an ever more ambitious club: FC Lorient would try to secure the services of Donny Van de Beek. According to information from L’Équipe, the Breton club has already gone on the offensive to try to finalize this file before the end of the summer transfer window on Friday evening. The Merlus have already reached an agreement with Manchester United to make the deal in the form of a loan. The daily does not specify whether it would include a purchase option or not.
Revealed in the Champions League during the formidable epic of Ajax Amsterdam until the semi-finals, the Dutch international is part of a golden generation, alongside De Jong or De Ligt. A versatile midfielder, capable of playing behind attackers in a playmaking role as well as in a more remote position, Van de Beek joined Manchester United in 2020. But in England, he failed to confirm the promises made in him. Loaned to Everton without more success in 2022, the Batavian international (19 caps, 3 goals) is looking for a challenge that would allow him to find playing time to match his ambitions.
It is in this particular context that Lorient is trying its luck. After recruiting Benjamin Mendy from Manchester City following the legal problems of the French world champion, the Breton team could make another resounding transfer during this transfer window.
