Guillem Balague: Real Madrid Planning To Trigger De Gea’s £30m Buy-out Clause

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has told Sky Sports that Real Madrid will once again try to sign David De Gea this summer by triggering his release clause.

The Spaniard was close to join Los Blancos during last summer’s transfer window, but the deal collapsed as Real Madrid failed to submit the necessary paperwork before the transfer deadline.

According to Guillem Balague, Los Blancos are once again ready to come for the 25-year-old this summer.

“Real Madrid will go David de Gea again,” he told Sky Sports.

“There is already a buy-out clause in his contract at 30million. Real will go for him at that price, that’s for sure.

“People will question why there is a need to go for De Gea if Keylor Navas is playing so well. But De Gea will be Spain’s No 1 for the next decade, that’s the quality of keeper they’ll be getting.”

However, with De Gea signing a new four-year contract with Manchester United which will keep him at Old Trafford until at least 2019, it remains to be seen whether the goalkeeper will reconsider a move to Madrid this time around.
