- Story Text: Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea's protracted transfer to Real Madrid could be nearer a conclusion after reports suggested talks between the two clubs had begun on Monday (August 31).
De Gea, Spain's number one, hasn't played in any of United's four league games this season because of the interest from Madrid.
The 24-year-old has been linked with a switch to the Bernabeu for the last year, but United were keen to keep him, especially after they qualified for the Champions League.
De Gea is already in Madrid as he will meet up with the Spain squad on Tuesday ahead of European qualifying later this week. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
