Manchester United are reportedly at risk of losing the services of Spain international goalkeeper David De Gea this summer, according to Don Balon.

The Premier League side, who lifted the UEFA Europa League and the EFL Cup last term, are expected to receive interest from La Liga champions Real Madrid for their super shot stopper before the 2017-18 campaign.

The 26-year-old, who has 21 international caps for his country, kept 16 clean sheets in 45 appearances in all competitions for The Red Devils last season.

De Gea, who arrived at Old Trafford back in June 2011 following his reported £17.8m switch from Spanish rivals Atletico Madrid, has played 269 times overall for United, recording 96 shutouts.

However, the report suggests the Spaniard wants to join Zinedine Zidane’s Madrid this summer, with club president Florentino Perez desperate to land the ‘keeper after numerous failed attempts in the past.

The player is understood to have told his agent, Jorge Mendes, to get the deal done before the close of the summer transfer window.

De Gea is valued at around £34 million, according to Transfermarkt.
