Eintracht Frankfurt may abandon their pursuit of Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek due to the high salary he has demanded. Donny van de Beek is seeking regular minutes and is expected to leave Old Trafford in the January transfer window. Eintracht Frankfurt have been linked with the Dutchman and discussions about a loan deal are ongoing. However, German journalist Christian Falk reports that Donny van de Beek's annual salary is around £6 million, which is unaffordable for the Bundesliga club.
A compromise has to be reached to make the transfer happen. Donny van de Beek has made just two appearances for United this season and only once as a substitute against Crystal Palace in the Premier League. The midfielder has been included in the first-team squad due to the club's injury crisis but has not been given much playing time. Although he is likely to be included in the squad for the upcoming clash with Liverpool, Donny van de Beek is unlikely to feature unless there is another midfield injury.
Donny van de Beek has struggled to make an impact since joining Manchester United from Ajax. In 62 appearances, he contributed just two goals and two assists. With 18 months left on his contract, his future at the club remains uncertain. In addition, there are rumours of Casemiro potentially leaving Old Trafford and the club could also accept Christian Eriksen's **. It is unclear whether Sofian Amrabat, who is currently on loan at Fioreana, will be signed permanently by Manchester United. In the upcoming match against Liverpool, Kobbie Mainoo could form a midfield alongside Amrabat and Scott McTominay, suspended by captain Bruno Fernandes.
