Reports are claiming that David De Gea
wants at least £300k-a-week in order to
commit his long-term future to Manchester
United. The Spanish goalkeeper, 28,
reportedly wants to stay at Old Trafford
after years of speculation but expects to
command a bumper pay-rise.
United recently triggered De Gea’s one-year
extension clause seeing the No1 stay in
Manchester until 2020, but all parties now
want fresh terms, say the Daily Mail.
De Gea put on a match-winning
performance as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won
his fifth straight Premier League game
against Tottenham on Sunday.
The Spaniard made an incredible 11 saves,
including a truly special stop to deny Harry
Kane, as Marcus Rashford scored in the
1-0 win at Wembley.
While Rashford – who netted for the third
match in a row and Paul Pogba have really
thrived under Solskjaer’s attacking
philosophy, De Gea has been arguably even
better.
Now, with the United stopper happy to stay
at the club, he is willing to potentially finish
his career at Old Trafford.
De Gea currently earns around £200,000-a-
week at United meaning he could see a
whopping 50 per cent increase on his
current pay.
With both club and player now wanted to
negotiate, Man United players have jumped
in to convince him to stick around.
Earlier this week, Jesse Lingard claimed:
“We want him to stay. He’s one of the best
keepers in the world, if not the best.â€
