David De Gea's move from "Manchester United" to Madrid's "Real" did not happen as "La Liga" received the necessary documents from the clubs 28 minutes late, according to "Sky Sports". "La Liga" confirmed that they did not receive the necessary documents by the deadline of August 31 at midnight Spanish time. Madrid newspaper "Marca" reported today that the deal is completely canceled at least until winter. After a summer of speculation, yesterday evening "Manchester United" and "Real" agreed on D. De Gea's move to Madrid, which was supposed to include Keylor Navas moving in the opposite direction.
La Liga says the documents did not arrive on time. Fifa will look at the case tomorrow. Both RM and United pushing for it to happen — Guillem Balague (@GuillemBalague) August 31, 2015
"Manchester United" told "Sky Sports" they filled out and sent all the documents on time. At the moment, it is not known if the clubs will try to appeal against "La Liga" for this unexpected delay. However, "Sky Sports" Spanish football expert Guillem Balague says there is no precedent for such a case and the chances of a successful appeal would be minimal.
