Real Madrid will activate Manchester United star’s £30m buy-out clause

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea will be approached by Real Madrid again this summer, according to Sky Sports’ Guillem Balague.

The 13-time Premier League champions; who take on West Ham United in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup this weekend, were thought to have come to an agreement with the La Liga giants last summer by selling the Spain international for around £29m, plus the part-exchange of fellow shot stopper Keylor Navas.

However any potential transfer collapsed due to the paperwork not being submitted before the transfer window closed.

The 25-year-old, who has seven international caps for his country, has kept 14 clean sheets in 34 appearances in all competitions for Louis van Gaal’s side so far this season.

However the report suggests that Madrid are set to pursue De Gea’s signature again once the current 2015-16 campaign has concluded, with the potential suitors set to activate the ‘keeper’s £30m buy-out clause this summer.
