Real Madrid are fresh £70million bid in order to finally sign Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, MySportDab reports.
Real Madrid have been long-term admirers of the Spain Goalkeeper and are still interested in bringing him to the Bernabeu after setbacks over the years.
According to The Sun, Real Madrid will up their attempts this summer to sign De Gea as a replacement for Thibaut Courtois.
Back In 2019, De Gea finally signed a fresh United contract, which looked to have ended the constant rumours about his future.
Yet We can all agree Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane does not place all of his trust in former Chelsea Goalkeeper Courtois and is now keen to rebuild his defence on solid foundations.
MySportDab understands Manchester United would demand at least £70m for 29-year-old De Gea, who is currently the highest earner at Old Trafford on £375,000-a-week.
Though De Gea remains NO.1 at United, the once dynamic goalkeeper has committed a number of errors this season.
De Gea was recently at fault during the 1-1 draw against Everton after wasting too much time on the ball and kicking it straight into Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the opening few minutes to concede an avoidable goal.
United’s hand could be put in action due to the continued rise of Dean Henderson, currently on loan at Sheffield United.
The Young goalkeeper has been linked as De Gea’s potential replacement and his efforts this season has seen him brought into question of selection for the England senior team this summer.
Real Madrid came close to signing De Gea in 2015, only for crucial registration documents to go unsigned as the Spanish club failed to complete the deal prior to the transfer window slamming shut.
In 27 matches played so far this campaign, De Gea has kept eight clean sheets, having secured 11 victories and eight losses.
