Last week, AS claimed that Real president Florentino Perez felt he was obligated to sign De Gea this summer after the transfer fiasco of last August.

Bale is said to be considered by Perez as the heir to Cristiano Ronaldo’s throne at the Bernabéu should the three-time Ballon d’Or victor chooses to leave or retire, but the pull of the Premier League may be “too hard to overcome” for the former Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur standout.
De Gea, who has won United’s Player of the Year award for three consecutive seasons, is vying with Iker Casillas for a starting role in Spain’s XI.
Mourinho was installed as the new United manager last month and the Portuguese coach is expected to be busy in the transfer market rebuilding the squad he’s inherited from Louis van Gaal following a poor campaign last season. “In addition, I am not thinking about anything apart from the national team”.
“I’m very grateful for Manchester United and I’m very happy there”, he said.
It is undertsood that Toni Kroos is highly favoured by Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane and that the Frenchman would not be willing to part with him in the summer transfer window despite the amount being offered for his services.
Los Blancos will keep Keylor Navas, according to MARCA.
