De Gea to sign new long-term Man Utd deal

The Spanish keeper has become arguably the best goalkeeper in the world in recent years, with incredibly consistent performances in the Man Utd goal that has seen him named their player of the season for four out of the last five years.

De Gea had been rumoured to be on the way to Real Madrid for the last several transfer windows, and was within minutes of joining 'Los Blancos' in 2015 but the paper work was not submitted in time.

Now with the European champions signing Thibaut Courtois, who the goalkeeper considered to be the Premier League's nearest to De Gea's quality, it seems as though the player is willing to prolongue his career at Old Trafford.

According to reports in the 'Daily Mail', the former Atletico Madrid shot stopper will become the highest-paid player in his position in the Premier League, earning around £200,000 per-week should he sign this new long-term contract.
