article: Manchester United have offered to make David de Gea the world’s best-paid goalkeeper on £200,000-a-week to keep him at Old Trafford. Fears are growing at United that De Gea will return to Spain and join Real Madrid on a free transfer when his contract runs out next summer. So far there has been no breakthrough in negotiations and manager Louis Van Gaal admitted yesterday that the club have made De Gea a huge offer to persuade him to stay. Manchester United have offered goalkeeper David de Gea £200,000-a-week to stay at the club . There has been speculation that the 24-year-old will move back to Spain to join Real Madrid this summer . ‘We have offered him a lot of money,’ said Van Gaal. ‘It takes a long time now. So it can always happen. I want him to stay but I am not the boss. The player is the boss, he can say yes or no. You will have to ask David De Gea not me. He has to sign.’ United’s offer of £180,000-a-week plus bonuses would eclipse the salaries of Manchester City’s England international Joe Hart, Gianluigi Buffon at Juventus, Bayern Munich keeper Manuel Neuer and Real Madrid’s Iker Casillas. But the feeling inside the Old Trafford dressing-room is that De Gea will leave to replace Casillas at the Bernabeu next summer, five years after joining United from Atletico Madrid for £17.8m. Having overcome a difficult start in English football, the 24-year-old Spaniard has been United’s most outstanding performer this season and was nominated for PFA Player of the Year earlier this month. United would demand £30m if Real try to sign him this summer and Van Gaal has already prepared for the prospect of De Gea leaving as a free agent next year by bringing in former Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes. Louis van Gaal admitted, during his press conference on Friday, that De Gea has been offered 'a lot of money' If De Gea moves to Real Madrid, it is likely he will be a replacement for Iker Casillas .
