Report: Manchester United, Real Madrid agree to fee for David De Gea
Real Madrid looks to have (finally) gotten its man.
Spanish outlet Marca is reporting that, after much posturing, the most protracted transfer saga of the summer is set for a resolution, with Los Blancos reaching an agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of wantaway goalkeeper David De Gea.
The deal will reportedly see the Red Devils pocket roughly €35 million for the Spanish shot-stopper, according to ESPN FC.
De Gea, 24, has long been expected to complete the move to the Santiago Bernabeu, to the point where United boss Louis van Gaal has left him out of the squad for all of the Red Devils' matches this season.
