Manchester United fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are hearing the news they’ve been waiting for since the close of the January transfer window.
The Daily Mail revealed that David De Gea has not agreed anything with Real Madrid as he looks to open contract talks.
This is a huge relief after United’s standout performer was linked with a move to Madrid throughout the January transfer window as Los Blancos seek a long-term replacement for Iker Casillas.
De Gea’s agent Jorge Mendes is fighting for his client to stay at Old Trafford despite intense interest from Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
“I am negotiating with Manchester United about De Gea’s renewal,” said Mendes.
“It is not true that De Gea has found a deal with Real Madrid. I’m negotiating with Manchester United his extension.”
Mendes has also previously mentioned that the arrival of Victor Valdes has not got in the way of De Gea’s passion to stay at Old Trafford.
“He has one year left on his contract and I think that he will stay in Manchester,’ Mendes added. ‘The player will decide, but he’s happy there, at the moment.”
If De Gea’s performances reflect his happiness at the club, then you would think he is dying for a new deal after enjoying an unbelievable season, performing impressively once more in the Red Devils’ 1-1 draw against West Ham United.
