da bwin: Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has an unwritten agreement to join Real Madrid, according to Diario Gol.
What’s the word?
da imperador bet: The Spanish international has been linked with a move to Madrid ever since his attempt to join the club collapsed in 2015.
The 26-year-old was set to return to his homeland, but some of the paperwork was not filed before the deadline, causing the deal to crumble.
De Gea then made a dramatic U-turn by signing a new contract at Old Trafford and he has seemingly not looked back since.
However, according to Diario Gol, the shot-stopper still has his heart set on a move to the European giants, but it will not be this summer.
Manager Zinedine Zidane is keen to stick by Keylor Navas this season, but De Gea is expected to replace the Costa Rican next year.
Can United keep him?
The Red Devils certainly have the financial clout and ambition to keep hold of arguably one of the best keepers in the world.
However, De Gea has strong connections to Madrid as it is his birthplace, and for any Spanish footballer, playing for Real or Barcelona is the pinnacle.
After his failed attempt to move to the Bernabeu two years ago, the shot-stopper has remained loyal to United.
During his six-year spell at the club, he has won four trophies, including the Premier League title and the Europa League.
De Gea may harbour ambitions of winning the Champions League with United, but if Madrid come calling next summer, it would be hard to say no.
