Real Madrid are on a desperate hunt to replace Keylor Navas between the sticks.
The 26-year-old has only 18 months left on his contract with United and the Red Devils are willing to extend the players years at the club to keep him until 2020 by triggering the extra one-year option on his contract.
De Gea is currently considered the best goal keeper in the world after producing stellar performance in their draw with Sevilla in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
