Goal.com announces that "Manchester United" goalkeeper David De Gea has made a decision about his future and wants to move to Madrid's "Real".
The "Red Devils" will now have to decide whether to sell the Spaniard this summer or keep him in their ranks for another year and allow him to leave in the next transfer window without a transfer fee.
It is reported that one of the factors in the goalkeeper's decision was the opportunity to return to his hometown, where his girlfriend lives.
However, Goal also announces that De Gea was advised to spend a few more years in England, where the 24-year-old player could develop more quickly, but it seems that the Spaniard wants to leave Manchester now.
Manchester United acquired the goalkeeper from Madrid's "Atletico" in 2011 and paid a record €24.4 million. This was the highest amount an English club had ever paid for a player in that position.
The Spaniard was named the best player of the team in the 2014-15 and 2013-14 seasons. This year, he also made it to the "Premier League" symbolic eleven.
If De Gea does leave, the "Red Devils" will have another Spanish goalkeeper, Victor Valdes, who has a year left on his contract. However, coach Louis van Gaal is interested in Real's backup goalkeeper Keylor Navas, whom the Dutchman tried to acquire last summer, so it is likely that the deal could also involve the Costa Rican.
