MANCHESTER UNITED GOALKEEPER David De Gea is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding his future at the club.
The 24-year-old is a transfer priority for Liga giants Real Madrid, with the Spanish club seeing De Gea as the ideal long-term replacement for Iker Casillas at the Bernabeu.
Keylor Navas has emerged as possible makeweight in any potential deal for De Gea but the Spaniard, who was named adopted son of Castilla-La Mancha at a ceremony in Spain on Sunday, remains silent over a possible Old Trafford exit.
He said, as quoted by AS: “We’ll see what happens with my future… I’m on vacation now and very happy with this recognition [being named adopted son of Castilla-La Mancha].”
United boss Louis van Gaal discussed De Gea’s future on the final day of the Premier League season, urging his No.1 goalkeeper to make up his mind as he looks to step up the club’s summer transfer plans.
He told reporters: “I cannot say when it [De Gea's future] will be resolved. He has to say something.”
Goal revealed on Saturday that Madrid are set for a summer stand-off with Casillas, meanwhile, with the veteran keeper refusing to leave the club amid the speculation around De Gea in a bid to ensure he receives a £10 million pay-off.
