David de Gea to Extend Contract with Manchester United

Many rumors had placed him far from Manchester United for the upcoming season, but it seems that David de Gea will continue guarding the goal for the 'Red Devils'. According to The Telegraph, the former goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid will extend his contract with the British team until 2025.

28-year-old De Gea will become the highest-paid goalkeeper on the planet. Continuing with the information from the aforementioned source, he will earn a whopping €21M per season, totaling €130M. It seems that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's commitment has been crucial in his decision, in addition to becoming the second-highest earner in the squad, with Chilean Alexis Sanchez being the first.

It is undeniable that he is one of the key players for Manchester United, as he has always performed at a magnificent level in the English team (except for a few exceptions). It seems that he enjoys the trust and support from his club, something he lacks in the national team, where the rise of Kepa Arrizabalaga has relegated him to the bench.

It is worth remembering that he arrived at 'Red Devils' in 2011, once he had demonstrated his enormous potential in the ranks of Atletico Madrid. The Telegraph points out that Manchester United will announce it officially as soon as the team returns from the preseason tour, where they beat Inter Milan by a narrow margin (1-0).
