The Star reports that Los Blancos are gearing up for yet another transfer drama by trying to lure David De Gea to the Santiago Bernabeu. The United shot stopper was on the brink of joining the Spanish giants but the deal failed to materialize due to what was termed as ''paper-work’’ complications.
The La Liga giants are now reportedly planning to make an early approach for the Spain number one in order to avoid the last-minute-rush. However, the source quotes Real Madrid spokesman as saying:
"Real Madrid will not attempt to sign David De Gea in the January window. But the club has proposed to sign him in the summer for next season."
Meanwhile, there are rumors that a number of Man United players are planning to leave the club if manager Louis Van Gaal is not sacked. Sources close to the English club suggest that vice chairman Ed Woodward and the Glazers are willing to sack the Dutch tactician if that is what it will take to retain the star players.
