Real Madrid plotting another attempt to sign Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea

• Old Trafford insiders believe a Real Madrid bid for David De Gea is imminent
• Manchester United will demand in excess of £60million for the goalkeeper

  Manchester United are braced for another attempt by Real Madrid to sign goalkeeper David De Gea.
  Old Trafford insiders believe a bid is imminent as the two clubs prepare to meet on their US tour in Santa Clara on July 23.
  United want to keep De Gea, 26, and will demand a fee in excess of £60million for the Spain goalkeeper. De Gea, who has two years left on his current contract, is open to joining the back-to-back European champions but will not push for a move.
  
  

Neither club wants a repeat of 2015 when Real saw a deadline day bid for De Gea collapse because the paperwork was not submitted on time following a summer of intense speculation.

United were determined to keep any mention of De Gea separate from their recent talks with Real over striker Alvaro Morata before switching their attentions to a £75m deal for Romelu Lukaku. But they now expect Madrid to come back to the negotiating table with a firm bid for their No 1.
