Manchester United Transfer Rumours and Gossip
#34
Manchester United have turned down a £60m Real Madrid offer for David de Gea.

The Spain goalkeeper was within minutes of joining Real in August 2015 only for the deadline-day deal to collapse, and he went on to sign a new Manchester United contract.

That deal has two years to run, with the option of a further 12 months, and it is reported that De Gea is happy at United.

Real's offer is more than three times the £18m United paid Atletico Madrid for the Spain No 1 in 2011, and almost double the current record fee for a goalkeeper. But that has not stopped United rejecting the bid as they prepare for a return to the Champions League in the wake of their Europa League victory.

De Gea did not play in the final against Ajax as Sergio Romero was preferred.

No Griezmann?

Manchester United have cooled their interest in Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann. Their new stance comes a matter of hours after Atletico had an appeal against their transfer ban rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The Spanish club will not be free to make any signings until January 2018 and therefore would be unable to replace Griezmann if he departs in the summer.

Maybe United have made the signing of an out-and-out goalscoring striker a priority following the knee injury sustained by Zlatan Ibrahimovic in April?

United already have a number of players that can operate behind the forward line, including Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and that has lessened the club's urgency to sign Griezmann.

The France forward's present contract at Atletico, which runs until 2021, includes an £87m release clause.

Griezmann recently revealed on French TV that his chances of a switch to Old Trafford were "six out of 10", but has since dismissed reports that a deal was already in place for him to join United.

"All the rumours are unfounded," Griezmann tweeted from his official Twitter account. "I'm still Colchonero. My direction will be established after discussion with my sporting advisor."
