Manchester United offer David de Gea £200,000-a-week to try and keep him at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have offered to make David de Gea the world’s best-paid goalkeeper on £200,000-a-week to keep him at Old Trafford.

Fears are growing at United that De Gea will return to Spain and join Real Madrid on a free transfer when his contract runs out next summer.

So far there has been no breakthrough in negotiations and manager Louis Van Gaal admitted yesterday that the club have made De Gea a huge offer to persuade him to stay.

‘We have offered him a lot of money,’ said Van Gaal. ‘It takes a long time now. So it can always happen. I want him to stay but I am not the boss. The player is the boss, he can say yes or no. You will have to ask David De Gea not me. He has to sign.’

United’s offer of £180,000-a-week plus bonuses would eclipse the salaries of Manchester City’s England international Joe Hart, Gianluigi Buffon at Juventus, Bayern Munich keeper Manuel Neuer and Real Madrid’s Iker Casillas.
