Super for Man United: Real Madrid’s January signing is on

Man United & Real Madrid

One of the transfer rumours which has been doing the rounds for years is that David De Gea could leave Man United for Real Madrid.

De Gea, the Spanish international goalie, was close to a move to Madrid a few years ago. However technical problems regarding the paperwork saw the goalie remain at Old Trafford.

As the January transfer window rolls around, transfer rumours are again on the agenda.

But, according to Marca on Monday, Madrid appear to have moved on in their attempts to land De Gea from Man United anytime soon.

Athletic Bilbao’s Kepa Arrizabalaga

For several weeks there has been speculation that Athletic Bilbao goalie Kepa Arrizabalaga could join Los Blancos.

Kepa is out of contract at the end of the season, so Bilbao either have to sell the keeper now or watch him leave for free in six months time.

According to Marca, Bilbao appear to have taken to first option. The front page of Marca reads:

Kepa – gift of Kings – The goalkeeper will be a Real Madrid player by the first week of January, signing for six seasons on 2.5m net wages a year.

Madrid offer Athletic 25m (5m more than release clause) after Club World Cup.
