Report: Real Madrid feel in debt to David de Gea for failed move

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has reportedly not given up hope of signing for Real Madrid.

The 26-year-old is a long-term target for Los Blancos, having been the subject of a botched bid in 2015 when only delays in submitting paperwork prevented a transfer from going through.

Real have yet to come back with a formal offer for the ex-Atletico Madrid stopper, but Don Balon claims that De Gea still has his heart set on a return to the Spanish capital.

The report goes on to claim that the Champions League holders feel in debt to De Gea after the goalkeeper's failed move two years ago and will push for a new move in the New Year.

De Gea has two years remaining on his contract at Man United.
