Premier
League side Manchester United are planning to offer their star goalkeeper David
de Gea a new contract which will make him the highest paid goalkeeper in the
history, according to The Sun.
Reports
have revealed that De Gea current wage is around £60,000-a-week which will
expire at the end of the season. The Spaniard is already on Real Madrid’s radar
but has no intentions to leave the English side.
Real Madrid have been considering him as a long term replacement of Iker Casillas
but De Gea is happy in England.
The
Red Devils are preparing a five-year big deal for their in-form goalkeeper
around £140,000-a-week. It seems to be very small in comparison with Wayne
Rooney and Robin van Persie who both have around £250,000-a-week but it would
be enough to make him the highest paid goalkeeper, according to reports.
The
24-year-old was signed from Atlético Madrid for a fee around £17.8 million in
2011. He replaced Edwin van Der at Old Trafford and since then he has been a regular.
He has made 139 appearances in all competition for the Red Devils.
While
their neighbours Manchester City are also planning a big deal for their goalkeeper Joe Hart which will keep him until 2019 at the Etihad stadium.
