David de Gea – Manchester United F.C. – Real Madrid CF – Transfer window

Real Madrid have officially confirmed they are interested in signing long-rumoured goalkeeping target David de Gea from Manchester United, according to reports in Espana.

De Gea has been immense for the Cerise Devils this flavour, just he is holding off on signing a new deal with United—his current contract is ready to expire in June 2016.

Los Blancos are eager to bring in the 24-year-one-time equally a long-term replacement for veteran Iker Casillas at the Bernabeu, with their interest confirmed by Jose Felix Diaz inMarca:

On the table there is a proposal for a renewal of his contract with Manchester United, hinted past Van Gaal to exist worth millions, and interest from Real Madrid, expressed officially final week in conversations held between [De Gea’s agent] Jorge Mendes, [Real president] Florentino Perez and Jose Affections Sanchez.

Carmine Devils dominate Louis van Gaal recently confirmed that De Gea has been offered a new deal at Former Trafford—reportedly worth£150,000 a week—just conceded he could exercise little to persuade the Spaniard to agree terms, perThe Guardian‘s Jamie Jackson.

“I am not the dominate,” Van Gaal said. “I want him to stay. The player is the dominate—he tin say yes or no. You volition have to ask David De Gea, not me. He has to sign. We have offered him a lot of money.”

Should the Spain international decide to depart United, the Crimson Devils will demand a transfer fee of €40 1000000 (£29.v million) for him, according to Diaz.

That is a large fee for a goalkeeper, but De Gea is arguably worth it.  He has been phenomenal for United in the Premier League this season, saving the Ruby Devils numerous points with some scenic displays.

Without De Gea, United’south bid for Champions League football next season would have ended some time ago.

He has come a long manner since his nervy and mistake-ridden first season at Old Trafford in 2011-12, and he is now arguably one of the all-time keepers in the world.

He has certainly been the all-time goalkeeper in the Premier League this term, as indicated past his inclusion in the PFA Squad of the Year:

United will not desire to see De Gea leave Old Trafford in the summer. Indeed, they are likely hoping he will stay for many years to come.

Bleacher Report’s Stan Collymore believes Van Gaal’s first flavour in accuse at United has been a success and that they can go on and challenge for the title next season:

However, without De Gea, that might not be the case.

Information technology will probable be hard for the Madrid-born De Gea to resist the lure of Los Blancos. He started his career at Atletico Madrid and surely has an eventual render to his native Espana in listen.

Real volition pursue De Gea mercilessly, every bit he looks the perfect replacement for the failing Casillas, and, unfortunately for United, Los Blancos unremarkably get their homo.
