Not this summer. Madrid have shitload of other things to buy including this world cup’s Hamez.
De Gea contract talk | Signs new deal

This. He doesn’t look miffed what so ever. Just have a look at his insta page for a bit of proof.
Would demand at least 100m. Then we could activate the release clause of Oblak with the money.
When it comes to reading body language and all this nonsense, yes.
Seems all agent talk to me seeing as what Alexis' contract is worth. DDG has seemed more than happy and he's on a long-ish term contract. Really simple and not worth the panic in some.
Benzema is having a nightmare season, Ronaldo has only got 6 league goals this season, Bale is always injured and Modric isn’t controlling games anymore so Real are in desperate need of reinforcements in midfield and attack.
I think they probably really regret selling Morata and loaning out James til the end of his contract as it’s left them short in terms of quality back up options. They’re linked with Neymar, M’Bappe, Hazard, Kane, Icardi, Lewandowski and Dybala and will want at least two of them which will cost them £300+ million in today’s market.
De Gea will cost Real £100 million as he’s in reality got two years of his contract so unless Real have £500 million to spend this summer they can’t buy De Gea plus all the forwards and midfielders needed to close the huge gap to Barca and even now Atletico, with Barca spending £140 on Coutinho and most likely £90 million on Griezmann I’m not seeing how Real would prioritise a keeper over attack/midfield when they’re struggling and Barca are only getting stronger.
If anything it could be De Gea’s agent (Mendes ?) pushing things out to the media about supposed interest from Real again to push United to put De Gea on the same wages as Pogba and Sanchez (£300K a week) which personally I think we should, he’s been our only consistent world class player for years and is now approaching his prime years.

Real are basically going to go psychotic in the summer with transfers imo and I don't think they'll have the time or resources to properly target De Gea, knowing how difficult it would be to deal with United. Navas is the least of their worries when you look at the form of Kroos, Modric, Ronaldo and Benzema. And, of course, Bale's injuries.
Could see them going all out to sign at least two from Kane, Dybala and Hazard.

Real can get fecked. They had more than enough chances to sign De Gea ... first fax-gate, then the apparent release clause until June 16, and then last summer Jose let the door quite open I thought. Tired of this yearly crap honestly. Hoped they'd sign Kepa so that this could be put to bed once and for all, but of course not. Cnuts.
This is going to come up every transfer window until he goes to Madrid, and he will go to Madrid at some point. Others are right, it won't be during the WC year as they have so many other areas to address. Neymar or Kane gonna blow their budget anyway so...
Surely they've more important positions to address this summer, and if rumour was to be believed they passed up the opportunity to buy him before a certain date last summer. This summer we'll no doubt make it more difficult, and alot more expensive, so don't believe a word of it myself.
One thing I will say about the De Gea situation, we can't allow a Sanchez style situation to occur. If he's intent on going we've got to get the highest possible fee we can get for him, I'd take no less than 140 million in the current market.
He's the best in his position, he's the Messi of goalkeeping he's that good.

I'd rather get the two years out of him to be honest.
I don’t think I would.
I want De Gea to stay with every bone in my body. I hope he retires with us. I think he deserves to be one of our highest paid players.
But if we can get £100m for him in the summer and he actually wants to leave just take it (if he wants to stay then absolutely brilliant - he can stay as long as he wants)
Our squad will live on and we can reinvest in another quality keeper and improve the squad elsewhere with the leftovers.
We have a talented youngster with Joel if I’m not mistaken?
Main point: please don’t leave Dave
*sighs*
Time to start tapping up Alisson/Oblak.

They have no need to buy him now... They could just wait out his contract.
Obviously this would require him not to sign a new one as well.
yeah i can't see Madrid going for him this summer their front line is aging they are gonna want to spend their cash there.
"Announce Dave"
Well, in that case, that's why football is totally fvcked up, De Gea could see out his two years knowing he's going to the club he's always wanted to play for. During this time he could refuse any attempt from United to sell him to make money off his transfer.
We don't need the money, but we do need him.
I agree with this. We aren't that reliant on him currently. Let's say he's top 2 in the world. The step down to number 5 or 6 won't be that decisive for our season.
You don't think body language reveals anything? That's just ignorant.
I'm not saying anything about DDG's current body language, just speaking on a general basis.
This is what I’m worried about.
Although I don’t think Dave would be that cold hearted to do this. He has achieved everything in his life/career - mainly because of us. Hopefully he wouldn’t feck us over that badly.

No. I'm saying predicting to be a good reader of body language and putting opinion based on it is nonsense, especially when you're talking about the body language about one of our best players this season.
He already could have done that when the transfer fell through last time and didn't and has been nothing short of a top pro since. I see no signs that he won't renew to be honest. I think he's bought in and he staying into his 30's.
Last time around Euro were coming up and he had to choose whether to leave united on a free and miss the euros and his chance at getting the starting job for Spain, or resign with United and hope for the best
In 2020, well he has cemented his starting job with Spain, but Spain has many good young up and coming keepers, and a season in the stands might cost him the job
So yeah, you're pretty safe in that regard
Don't think Madrid are interested, also think De Gea is happy to stick around now. Madrid have far more pressing concerns than their GK right now. Need to basically rejuvenate their whole attack.
Madrid need a heavy investment next season. Would be shocked if De Gea is high on their priority
None of this makes any sense
He cares about playing for Spain way more than he cares about playing for united or madrid or whatever. He resigned with United in 2015 in large part because he'd have lost the euros otherwise. There are euros in 2020. What part of that is hard to understand?
He signed a new contract with united because neither him or his agent are idiots, it was a win-win where:
- He got an increased salary
- Could still sign for Real Madrid for the right offer
- protected by a contract in case of injury
He would never have been benched for a full season
Wasn't he? Yet Van Gaal made it clear that was the case. And backed it up by continuing to play Romero until he signed
What you're saying isn't wrong, but that came later
Van Gaal didn't want to play him while there was doubt surrounding his future. The Liverpool match was the first match after the transfer window closed, a 12 day gap due to international break. Even if he didn't sign a new contract, he would've been our no 1 that season.
There is the muppet option of signing two top players for the attack, from the ideal Neymar and Kane to the more simple Icardi + Hazard, or even just Kane. Case in which Bale and Cristiano would continue in the team.
In that case they could finance more arrivals with some sales, and except Isco and Asensio I would not rule out anyone.
That money could finance full backs (Odriozola would be fine),a CB and de Gea.
Although both are great, between paying 60 or 70 million for Courtois and 120 for De Gea, I would prefer de Gea.
They have complicated the goal issue too much. Firstly with the fax, saying yes,no and maybe to Courtois and now promising Kepa an interest that has not arrived.
An small investment with a goalkeeper outside the candidates brings the problem of doubts and comparisons with Keylor, so it does not seem realistic.

He's not had much to do this season. The Arsenal game was his only superb performance unless I'm forgetting something.
Is Isco still on a contract that's running out soon?
no, he renewed
Would be nice dealing with Madrid after last summer where they had 2 different prices for Morata one for United and one for the rest of the clubs chasing him.
Apparently they rejected £90 million from United but ended up accepting £75million from Chelsea later on in the window.
If Dea Gea wants to leave then we have to rinse Madrid, they need to pay Coutinho kind of money if they want to prise away United best player. Anything less then £130 million should be turned down.

Reports from France and Spain saying Perez wants Neymar and talk of a €250 million transfer with Neymar even being willing to take a pay cut in order to push the move through, if they’re willing to pay that kind of money for Neymar as well as needing another top forward then I just don’t see how Real could even contemplate De Gea financially.
Even by selling Bale and Benzema I don’t think Real could raise more than half of the potential Neymar fee and you’re looking at £100 million plus for another top forward on top, if I was Ed Woodward I’d be concentrating right now on putting De Gea on par with Pogba and Sanchez wage wise and signing him up for another 5 years.

100m for his left hand
