Real Madrid will not try to sign De Gea this summer

Real Madrid will not try to lure David De Gea from Manchester United this summer.

The Spanish goalkeeper almost joined the La Liga giants ahead of last season, but the transfer fell through at midnight on deadline day.

De Gea has since signed a new contract at Old Trafford and has expressed his eagerness to work with new manager, Jose Mourinho.

Asked by Marca what he thought of Mourinho’s appointment, De Gea said: “To speak of Jose Mourinho is to talk about a winning coach and that is United’s philosophy and mine
“With that idea in mind, I’m certain we can build a great team. I welcome him.”

Madrid have now given up on signing Dea Gea and are focused on rewarding Keylor Navas, who had an excellent Champions League campaign, as they won their 11th European title.
