SPECULATION IS RIFE that Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea could be on his way back to the Spanish capital this summer.
The 24-year-old, who was bought for £17.8 million from Atletico Madrid in 2011, has been the Premier League club’s top performer this season with several fabulous displays.
Real Madrid are in the market for a new number one and Spanish publication Marca claim today that De Gea has agreed to join them on a five-year deal. They have gone with the headline: ‘Done Deal’.
It would be hugely disappointing for Louis van Gaal to lose one of his best players and he would need to find a replacement for next season — although recent signing Victor Valdes could be a possible short-term option.
