David De Gea 'says yes' to Real Madrid transfer, only agreement between clubs is lacking

David De Gea has "said yes to Real Madrid," journalist Josep Pedrerol has claimed on Spanish television channel La Sexta.

The Champions League quarter-finalists have long been linked with a move for the 24-year-old, and with his contract ticking down it has been evermore likely that De Gea would leave the Old Trafford club.

And today's reports suggest that, after months of speculation , PFA Player of the Year nominee De Gea has agreed a move to the Bernabeu despite the presence of club legend Iker Casillas.

"David De Gea has said yes to Madrid," it begins.

"The Manchester United goalkeeper wants to wear the white of Real Madrid from next season. The club considered many options for the goalkeeping situation but have decided on De Gea.

"And David De Gea is clear... he wants to be the Real Madrid goalkeeper.

"One of the problems had been the future (or not) of Iker Casillas but this is no longer an impediment to the signing of De Gea.

"Only an agreement between the clubs is lacking."
