According to the press in Madrid on Saturday, once again the David De Gea situation was being discussed with manager Louis van Gaal being presented as the villain.
The Dutchman and Manchester United want a higher fee for the Spaniard than what La Liga giants Real Madrid are offering at the moment and did not feel that De Gea was ready to play for the Red Devils, which has upset the keeper. Though these rumours might now totally true, those around him have given some updates on the situation and media briefings have also taken place.
Marca added that the 24-year-old superstar did not refuse to play in the opening two weeks of the Premier League season, despite the delicate situation and the paper added that the Spaniard is the perfect professional and trains very hard to remain in the best condition.
However, Van Gaal claimed that he is not at his best and the report stated that the United boss has not been saying the right things all the time, which is making things too complicated.
Marca further confirmed that De Gea’s agent Jorge Mendes has recently tried to restore tranquility, calming the goalie down and convincing him that his move to the Bernabeu will indeed happen this summer.
