Speculations regarding the future of David de Gea have been all over the news, with the Spanish international set to leave Old Trafford, it seems. Claims by Spanish newspaper Marca suggested the usage of war references in nearly every one of their articles on the subject, with respect to Manchester United and Real Madrid having talks. Though the two clubs are fighting for the 24-year old superstar, things should be sorted out soon, it would seem.
The battle for Sergio Ramos would surely have played a part in it in such reports as well, though the former European champions have already won that one. The whole situation by Marca is referred to as the cold war and Saturday was no exception, with similar news in the paper once again.
Marca added that the Red Devils have used ‘tricks’ like the Ramos situation to try and push for a higher price for the star keeper.
Further, Real are totally convinced that a deal will be done and at a price much less than the €40m demanded by the Premier League giants, with terms already been agreed with the Spaniard. De Gea has already agreed terms in the Spanish capital, where he will initially pocket just over 5m euros a year, and is simply sitting tight and hoping for the situation to be resolved as soon as possible. United, meanwhile, are trying every trick in the book to get the highest fee they can for the keeper, reports Marca.
