Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is poised to leave Old Trafford this summer after agreeing personal terms with Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.
Marca are reporting that the 24-year-old star has reached an agreement with the La Liga giants for a deal worth around £4million a year after tax and believed to be between five and six years in length.The Madrid-based newspaper also suggests that the only thing missing in the deal is for United and Madrid to agree a fee for the player. It could reach upwards of £30m.
Spanish star De Gea was spotted catching a flight back to Madrid on Monday during some time off
De Gea will be a huge loss to Louis van Gaal's side following another impressive season in Manchester which saw the Spaniard feature in the 2014-15 PFA Team of the Year.
The former Atletico Madrid man, who has also arguably been United's player of the season, is in line to replace veteran goalkeeper Iker Casillas at the Bernabeu.
De Gea is thought to be keen on the idea of returning to live in his former city, though he has maintained silence on the matter, a source of frustration for United who had wanted to tie him down to a new deal.
He set United fans' pulses racing earlier this week when he was spotted on a flight to Madrid as he took advantage of some time off to return to the Spanish capital.
The goalkeeper flew on an easyJet flight from Liverpool airport to Madrid on Monday afternoon before reporting back to training on Wednesday ahead of his side's Premier League clash with rivals Arsenal.
