David De Gea has begun talks over a new contract, reports the Telegraph, as Manchester United bid to fend off Real Madrid interest once and for all.
The Spanish goalkeeper has been persistently linked with a return to the Spanish capital after starring for Atletico Madrid as a youngster.
The 27-year-old is out of contract at the end of next season, though the Red Devils have an option to extend that by 12 months.
With Alexis Sanchez likely to command near to £500,000 per week, De Gea could demand a sizeable increase on his current £200,000 per week wages to commit his future to Old Trafford.
