Real Madrid are hardening their stance over Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea and vowing not to go above €25m for the custodian, it has been claimed in Spain.

Los Blancos are currently engaged in tense negotiations with the Red Devils for De Gea, amid a backdrop of the English club wanting to sign their long-serving defender Sergio Ramos.




Real Madrid feel in a strong position to sign De Gea, as he has just one year remaining on his contract at Old Trafford and is keen to make the move to the Bernabeu.

And according to Spanish TV programme El Chiringuito, that means Real Madrid will not go above €25m to sign the shot-stopper.
 

 

Manchester United are thought to value the goalkeeper at a higher price, something which threatens to cause the transfer saga to run and run over the summer.

De Gea's arrival could also be wrapped up in whether Real Madrid are prepared to sell Ramos to Manchester United.

Should De Gea not sign a new contract with the Red Devils, he could walk away from Old Trafford in less than a year's time, when his current agreement expires.
