Blow For Los Blancos: Manchester United Superstar To Stay And Break Records At Old Trafford

The January transfer window has always been filled with speculations regarding the futures of a lot of big names in European football with players moving from one club to another. One player who has totally out performed this season, as compared to the previous years has been Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea. The Spaniard has put in some superb performances for United which has attracted the attentions of many big clubs including Real Madrid of late. The Daily Express had reported that the Premier League giants were desperate to hold on to their number one keeper, in order to avoid losing another one of their big stars to the Los Blancos. The current Champions League holders consider the current Manchester United number one goalkeeper as the perfect replacement for their veteran keep Iker Casillas.

The Red Devils have priced their 23-year-old goalkeeper currently at 50 million pounds to repel any potential interest from the Bernabeu. The Express also states that a new five-year deal, at 200,000-pounds-a-week deal will be offered to the Spanish superstar to keep him at Old Trafford. This means, the Spanish star is most likely to stay and break many more records at Old Trafford

De Gea who joined the Manchester side from Atletico Madrid in 2011, has since then made a total of 116 appearances for the Premier League club. United certainly have the money to offer De Gea a bumper contract, given the condition that their defence is in, at the moment and needs further quality additions in the near future. Knowing the fact, that when Real come calling, they rarely go back empty handed, it would be something that remains to be seen, how this transfer saga ends.
