The star shot-stopper was gravitating a lot of transfer interest from other clubs like Juventus and Real Madrid since his current contract is set to expire in a few months time. David de Gea was also taking his own sweet time to sign a new deal with Manchester United and that had led to all kinds of speculations regarding his future.

According to a report done by Daily Record via SportBible, De Gea will not only stay a part of the team but the new deal would make him the highest-paid player in the history of the club. The former Atletico Madrid goalie has reportedly signed the deal estimated at around £13.3million per season. The contract is expected to last until 2024 June.
