Real Madrid president Florentino pours cold water on reviving De Gea deal

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has spoken of his long pursuit of Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea.

Just this morning, Perez insists Madrid are not looking to replace Keylor Navas or deputy Kiko Casilla.

"Two years ago we had the disaster of the late fax, they (United) sent it two minutes late and that was it," Perez told Marca on Tuesday, the day after earning a third consecutive mandate with Real.

"Last year we had the chance to sign him but we didn't take it and now we don't have any agreement with Manchester United to sign him. The truth is we have great goalkeepers."
