De Gea happy with £350,000-a-week Man Utd contract offer

David de Gea is ready to sign a new contract with Manchester United.

The Sun says De Gea is ready to sign an eye-watering £91m five-year deal when United return from their pre-season tour.

The Old Trafford giants have been negotiating with the Spain international goalkeeper since the new year and there has finally been a breakthrough in talks.

United have increased their £300,000-a-week offer to a whopping £350,000 in a bid to keep their superstar stopper.

The two sides had returned to the negotiating table last month after 28-year-old De Gea refused to sign a deal.

United's offer will be for an initial four years, with the option on the club's side to trigger a further year.

De Gea's current deal is due to expire at the end of the new season, which kicks off in just 24 days' time.
