David De
Gea has been heavily linked with a move to the Bernabeu as they look to replace
veteran keeper Iker Casillas.
The
Spanish goalkeeper has been in the form of his life this season and Louis Van
Gaal is determined to keep him in Manchester.
A
contract extension is on the table for the Man United number one but it is missing
the signature of the 24 year old.
De Gea should leave Old Trafford as Van Gaal has identified Tottenham Hotspur stopper Hugo Lloris as
his new number one.
If
United do pursue Lloris they will need to fend of French Champions PSG who are
also interested in signing the keeper.
Both
clubs however will need to table a bid good enough for notoriously tough negotiator
Daniel Levy to part with his player.
United
have dealt with Levy in the past and know he will try and squeeze ever penny he
can out of the club if he is to sell.
Meanwhile, Mauricio
Pochettino is determined to keep Lloris at the club as he looks to build
stability at the club and the 28 year old is at the centre of his plans.
If United fail to sign Lloris then they could turn their attention to Inter Milan’s
keeper Samir Handanovic.
Victor
Valdes who signed for the club in January on a free transfer could also be in
with a shout of replacing his fellow Spaniard.
