Manchester United are ready to hand David de Gea a £30 million deal to keep him away from Real Madrid.
The Spanish keeper has been in good form for Louis Van Gaal’s side this season, prompting Madrid President to start preparing a £25m bid to take him back to Spain, according to the Mirror.
United are rumoured to be willing to more than double the player’s wages to a staggering £120,000-per-week and offer him a five-year deal before Christmas.
De Gea is out of contract in 2016 and United are well aware of the interest from Madrid. But they will not let the 23-year-old enter the final 18 months of his contract without a new offer having been penned and want to tie him to a long-term deal in the next couple of months.
De Gea, voted Player of the Season by his United team-mates last term, has been one of the club’s most consistent performers in the turbulent time since Sir Alex Ferguson quit.
Already established as United No.1, De Gea has made his full debut for Spain and could also replace Iker Casillas as first-choice at Real with a move to the Bernabeu.
De Gea underlined his enduring value to United with two stunning saves in added time to earn Van Gaal’s side a 2-1 win over Everton before the international break.
