Real Madrid’s acquisition of 32-Years Old Manchester United Starlet is imminent.

 

David de Gea, a legendary player for

Manchester United, is reportedly getting

closer to joining Real Madrid as negotiations

between the two parties progress.

 

 

Real Madrid is reportedly interested in

signing David de Gea, according to a report

by talkSPORT. The recently released

Manchester United legend is seen by the

Merengues as a temporary stand-in for the

injured Thibaut Courtois. Additionally, there

are extensive negotiations between the two

parties to finalize a Bosman relocation soon.

David de Gea is a graduate of the Atletico

Madrid Academy. But he rose to prominence

after joining Manchester United in July 2011.

And while the Spaniard encountered

teething problems at Old Trafford, he

eventually became a pivotal figure for the

Red Devils. In addition, he won the club’s

Player of the Year award a record four times.

 

The 32-year-old spent over a decade at

Manchester United, turning out nearly 500

times while keeping 190 clean sheets. But de

Gea’s stint with Manchester United ended

last month as he became a free agent upon

the expiration of his contract. And he has

not attracted many suitors in the last six

weeks.

Recent reports have linked de Gea with

Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian

clubs have also shown interest in the

Spanish international. But neither idea got

the required traction, and he remains a free

agent. However, his patience might have

paid off, with Real Madrid reportedly

considering signing him.

The Merengues have lost Thibaut Courtois

for most of the upcoming campaign, if not

the entire season. The Belgian international

has picked up a long-term knee injury in

training this week. So he will be on the

sidelines for the foreseeable future,

compelling Real Madrid to sign a goalkeeper

this summer.

 

Several candidates have thus emerged on

Real Madrid’s radar, with David de Gea also

among the targets. And the report by

talkSPORT has suggested that talks between

the two parties have advanced. So the

Manchester United icon might finally join

Real Madrid eight years after his desired

move collapsed.

But widespread reports have also linked

Kepa Arrizabalaga and Yassine Bounou with

Real Madrid. So de Gea needs to quickly seal

an agreement with Real Madrid to seal his

Bosman move. And it will be interesting to

see if the Manchester United icon arrives at

the Santiago Bernabeu in the coming days.
