The signing of De Gea by Real Madrid took a decisive step yesterday

The Manchester United has agreed to reduce its initial demands (asking for 46 million for the goalkeeper at the start of the negotiation) and now values the transfer at 35 million. An amount that is already very close to the main offer they received from Concha Espina: 30 million.

The situation regarding De Gea has begun to clear up with the intention of avoiding the Spanish goalkeeper having to report to Carrington next Monday to join Manchester's preseason. De Gea himself said goodbye to his teammates and several club employees before going on vacation... United seeks to avoid a soap opera that would disrupt the start of its summer preparation (which begins today) so Van Gaal no longer maintains such a strong position. The Dutchman also wants to resolve the issue of his goalkeeping before going on the tour of the United States (they leave on the 13th). The replacement for De Gea was going to be Hugo Lloris, who has agreed to leave Tottenham for 20 million euros according to L'Equipe, but the deal has cooled off and Van Gaal is starting to get impatient.

Ramos. In any case, Madrid and Manchester United are bound to understand each other because they are experiencing a summer of crossed interests. Although they are independent operations, the successful resolution of the De Gea matter would help establish a good rapport between both clubs and thus facilitate Ramos' move to Old Trafford, a showdown in which the positions are much more confrontational...
