Manchester United are reportedly set to activate a one-year extension in David de Gea’s contract.
The goalkeeper has two years left on his current deal, but The Sun say United will extend it until 2020 and give him a pay rise to make him one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League.
Real Madrid have been long-term admirers of De Gea and came agonisingly close to sealing a deal in 2015 but the move fell through.
A United insider said: “The club are looking to exercise their option to extend David’s deal this summer.
“He will be given a pay increase. He has consistently been one of the best goalkeepers in the world for a number of years now.
“There shouldn’t be any problems, but clubs have been sniffing around him for a number of years now.”
