Manchester United Offered Belgian Goalkeeper In Exchange For Paul Pogba

The latest reports claim that Real Madrid have offered Manchester United Thibaut Courtois in exchange for Paul Pogba.

David De Gea’s future at Old Trafford continues to be speculated upon as the Spaniard refuses to sign on any contract offers. He wishes to become the club’s highest paid player just like Alexis Sanchez but United are hesitating to meet their demands.

The club has made several offers and lately, they came up with a new and improved one. De Gea’s current deal is set to expire in 12 months and the time is now to make a final decision.

If the Spaniard chooses to leave for a higher paycheque, the Red Devils will take it upon themselves to sell him, instead of losing him for free next summer.

Duncan Castles said on the Transfer Window Podcast, “Manchester United finally made an improved offer to David de Gea last week. I’m told there was a meeting in London between Jorge Mendes and Manchester United to discuss whether they could find a solution to that longstanding impasse on de Gea’s new contract.

“I’m told the situation has not been resolved and the discussions are ongoing. But United have improved their offer.”

“I think he (De Gea) has three choices. I think PSG are a strong option as they need a goalkeeper of that quality and ability and they have an interest in David de Gea.

“Whether they are in a financial position to buy him this summer and to meet the financial terms required for De Gea to move there is another matter.

“Madrid? There is a definite interest there. Zidane does not have full faith in Thibaut Courtois.

“I can tell you that Courtois was offered to Manchester United by Madrid as part of their attempts to sign Paul Pogba, obviously if that was able to be put into effect then they would need a starting goalkeeper and De Gea would come back into that discussion for Madrid.
