Manchester United fans will probably want to weep into a quiet corner now.
David De Dea is 100% officially about to become a Real Madrid signing.
After a long transfer standoff, which seemingly begun back in the Great War, United have blinked first and lowered the Spaniards transfer asking price to £29m (reported by the Guardian) – the Red Devils had hoped to have pocketed £35m, breaking the previous transfer record held by Gigi Buffon (32.6m) when he made the move from Parma to Juventus.
It’s not all Sergio Romero shaped gloom for Man United fans as Real’s Costa Rican keeper Keylor Navas will be joining the side as part of the deal.
Whilst the multi Premier League winners will be emotionally sore, fact is Mr De Gea has made no secret that he’s wanted to make the move for some time, £29million for anyone in the last year of their contract seems like good business to us.
Didn’t he come a long way a from that naive, slight framed-cross dropper though?
