Contract renewal talks must be ongoing. Hence all the murmurs of Madrid interest. Nothing to see here IMO. He's a lot more likely to move to Barca

you are right, he is 30. And i think someone of Mandanda level is good enough (he is almost as good as Lloris) if you have a strong team, otherwise you obviously need a top top goalkeeper.
And considering they spent best part of £30m in the summer on two goalkeepers, one of which being a young and very promising keeper I don't see Barcelona making moves any time soon.
Do people think him being ex-Athletico is really going make a move to Real implausible? They're pretty much the flagship club of Spanish football and he's pretty much the future no.1 of Spain for the next decade at least. Put 2 and 2 together.
Either way get him on a big contract. So if he does decide to leave us then it can be for silly money.

He's not just an ex Atletico player, he and his family are lifelong supporters of Atleti, so this can't be compared to the likes of Reyes, Juanfran, Hugo Sanchez, Solari and Schuster. Torres never moved to Real and neither will Koke, who is also wanted by lots of big clubs.
We're the flagship club of the premier league but that doesn't mean any Liverpool or City players/fans want to join us.
Steven Gerrard being the obvious example.
If De Gea does leave we have to get Cech and another younger keeper in. I really hope it doesn't have to come down to that though.
Make him the highest paid keeper in the world.

Stop pissing your pants, de Gea is going nowhere. He keeps talking about how he loves the club and wants to stay, and appreciates how the fans supported him.
Like others have stated, it's just the press deciding to make a few headlines, maybe a leak by the agent to bump up his new deal.
I am fully confident he is going nowhere.

I just think that it's a tactic from Mendes to use Real Madrid, in order to get DDG a better contract, wages... and a better incentive himself.. mister 10% will take is part in a new deal
I won't be afraid by that. Madrid still have Casillas and Navas too

It's not impossible of course but it is less likely. Sometimes players will be loyal to the team they or their family support.
Even if he is Spanish number 1 how much does that realistically make him worth in terms of wages to Madrid that United couldn't match? He won't be on Messi/Neymar/Ronaldo level of super stardom for example. I'm sure United would offer the same or better than Madrid to keep him.
Whenever you hear him talk he seems happy here. He may not be around forever but I would be surprised if he didn't at least sign a new contract.
God I hope he signs a new contract.
Easily up there with Di Maria in terms of importance to the team.

4 mil followers on twitter, no other goal keeper in the world has so many followers. Indeed, very few outfield players have more followers than him. Therefore there's no way he is leaving us!
Give him the same wage as Neuer and be done with it.
How ? He's not anywhere near his level. That's not how you run a football club. Should be given the same contract as Courtois, certainly not Neuer.
Isn't Courtois on half the wages that Cech is?
Anyway, I don't really see the point in using players at other clubs as the basis for wages. I think you need to more so judge it on their importance to the club, and their importance compared to other players at the club and what they should warrant in contrast to them.
Personally I think DDG is one of our top 5/6 most important players and should be given a wage to reflect that.
To be honest, I always felt that if De Gea kept progressing, it was always a matter of time before he ended up at one of the Spanish Giants
I believe he will sign a new contract,he would be of great help to Vanja Milinković-Savić when he joins next year.
That's not how it works. A lot of our players are/have been on much higher wages than Bayern players, but are/have been nowhere as good as them. DDG at least is much closer to world class level (for me he already is) than those other players on which we have wasted money.
what real madrid wants real madrid gets.
We've been down this road with them a few times now and if they decide the want De Gea, then they'll sign him.
This round of contract negotiations should be a doddle compared to the next contract in 3-4 years! That is when i will be worried.
I hate Real Madrid.
This.
The contract situation right now isn't really that significant. If Madrid want him, it doesn't matter when he last signed a contract - they'll still get him.
I think he'll sign a deal soon, but that doesn't really secure anything, other than more money if he goes.

That's a massive exaggeration. It's also irrelevant, as DDG is every bit as important to United as Neuer is to Bayern, which is what matters.
I'm not worried about DDG's contract, I've every confidence he'll sign a new one soon and that he's not interested in Real.
Not a sworn Atletico fan though, IMO.
RM basically get the player they want. Once they really go for him in a couple of years, there is not much we can do. Except do our homework, keep scouting goalkeepers and hope his successor is also pretty good. But let's be realistic, contracts dont prevent players from leaving.
Not the most reliable of sources, by all accounts.

i hope you are right b/c i dont think there are other GK that good around his age except Courtois or Ter Stegen(who's not starting for Barca).
No way will Dave go to Real. You really get the feeling he genuinely loves it here and he's got two friends here, one being his best mate in Mata, the other a player he played youth football with in Herrera.
He's said himself it's an honour everytime he pulls on that shirt, and he wants to stay for many years. Real Madrid may be tempting as it's his home country, but a humble and loyal man like Dave won't just pack up and leave a club that stood by him and trusted him. He loves United, it's clear.
You all need to follow him on Twitter to get a greater sense of that!

A new 5 year double money contract will see things right. I am sure he is excited by what is going on at the club now and wont be in any hurry to leave.
Oh please, Beckham and RVN were sold because SAF wanted them gone, not because they wanted to go to RM. The only player who we wanted to keep and still wanted to go was Ronaldo.
Didn't get Neymar though!
Because De Gea came through Atleti and is a die hard fan for them, and because of how good they are now, I don't think De Gea would go to Real Madrid. He's at one of the 2-3 clubs who could say they are as big globally and commercially as Real Madrid, and surely last season was just a one off and we'll be back to challenging for everything come next year. Having so many latino players certainly can't hurt either, with De Gea having plenty of good friends at the club like Mata (for now) and Herrera.
Of course, anything is possible, but I hope he doesn't and I don't think he will leave anytime soon. He genuinely seems to love it here at United and with him getting the #1 spot at Madrid anyways, there isn't that incentive to go to Madrid as there would have been before.

Nor Falcao.
That's because they did not want Falcao. Remember he was offered to them.
and who got neymar? and Barca had already paid Santos for the rights to buy first.
Not talking about now, in the past they wanted him.
There was no way Atletico would have sold him to Madrid though. He was hoping to join Madrid after Monaco.
This nonsense is completely manufactured. His agent is Mendes though.
It's well-known RM also tried everything to get Neymar, including willing to get involved in all the wrong-doings Barca did to get him.
