Real Madrid are again being linked with Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea.

The Sun says Real are looking to place together a fresh £70million bid in order to finally get their hands on De Gea.

Madrid have been long-term admirers of the Spain No 1, and have still not given up hope of bringing him to the Bernabeu after multiple set-backs spanning several years.

Madrid will up their attempts to get De Gea in order to bring him in to replace Thibaut Courtois.

It has been no secret in the Spanish capital that manager Zinedine Zidane does not place all of his trust in former Chelsea man Courtois between the sticks, and is now looking to rebuild his defence on solid foundations.

United would demand at least £70m for the 29-year-old De Gea, who is the highest earner at Old Trafford on an eye-watering £375,000-a-week.
