De Gea agrees Bayern Munich move, but...

Released Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has agreed a move to Bayern Munich.

Off contract after leaving United this summer, De Gea is prepared to join as Manuel Neuer continues his recovery from a midseason leg fracture.

The Spaniard is ready to make the move, though Bayern are also exploring the prospect of signing Stefan Ortega from Manchester City.

Sky Deutschland's Florian Plettenberg reports: "News David de Gea: He was not a hot topic in the past few weeks. However, after Kepa/Rulli, he was discussed internally. Talks with him and his management took place.

"Been told: De Gea has given the green light for his move to Bayern. Personal terms won't be an issue.

"But: Ortega is the main priority now. If this transfer doesn't work out, De Gea could be finalized soon."
