The 28-year-old’s current deal is set to expire next summer, leaving him free to agree terms in mid-season for a free transfer to a new club at the end of the 2019/20 campaign.

According to The Sun, De Gea has agreed in principle to a new six-year contract worth £350,000-per-week, but is yet to sign off on it.
