David De Gea's current contract at Old Trafford runs out in 2019, and Manchester United are not willing to buckle for Real Madrid. The Red Devils are preparing a new deal to keep the Spaniard in the Premier League.
Despite long-standing interest from Florentino Perez and Real Madrid, Manchester United are confident David De Gea will extend his stay at the club.
As reported by 'The Independent', the Red Devils have planned talks to offer the goalkeeper a new deal and stop the European champions from prying him away from Old Trafford.
The 26-year-old's current contract binds him to the club until 2019, making it easier for Real Madrid to sign him next summer when he only has one year left on his deal.
The Spain international has attracted interest from La Liga giants in recent seasons. He came close to a switch in 2015, but for an issue with the paperwork which ultimately hindered the move.
Now the Red Devils are not interested in selling the keeper, who seems to be enjoying his time in Manchester. A strong factor United cling to for De Gea to sign a new deal.
