David De Gea will be able to leave Manchester United for €41 million when Real Madrid inevitably come knocking once more.
The United number one signed a four year contract extension at Old Trafford which could keep him in England until 2019, but De Gea insisted upon a release clause that would make it easier for Real to secure his services.
The Sun on Sunday report that the Spaniard stressed that the clause be included in his new contract so that Real Madrid don’t have to negotiate with United when they reignite their interest. They just need to come to the table with €41 million and the deal is done.
Well, unless they leave it until the last minute again.

De Gea saw his move to the Bernabeu collapse on Transfer Deadline Day after wires were crossed between the two clubs.
“I am delighted to be starting this new chapter in my United career,” De Gea said of his new United contract.
“I have always enjoyed playing with these great players in front of our fantastic fans.
“Manchester United is a special club and Old Trafford is an ideal place for me to continue to develop my career.”
Call us cynical but we’d be flabbergasted if De Gea wasn’t a Real Madrid player at the start of the 2016/17 La Liga season.
