Real Madrid have been thrown into turmoil over Thibaut Courtois injuring his ACL, and have began contacting replacements to help out. David De Gea is one of those.
David De Gea is a free agent at this time and would represent a costless replacement for Courtois for the time being. Madrid have already made contact with the goalkeeper.
Manchester United and De Gea parted ways last month, with United choosing not to offer the Spaniard a new deal.
Madrid Make Contact With De Gea:
As reported by Sky Sports News, Real Madrid have already contacted representatives of former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea.
De Gea has tons of experience at top level and represents a smart replacement for Courtois. Despite his reputation towards the end at United, he is still a top keeper.
Real Madrid have now made contact with his reps to see if a deal can be done. The sticking point may be his wage. De Gea was on over £300,000-a month at United.
Courtois is set to miss around 9 months with his ACL injury and that would represent some major game time for De Gea. It’s an opportunity he may not be able to refuse.
De Gea and option for Madrid and discussions have begun.
