Paul Clement plays down David de Gea talk

Real Madrid assistant boss Paul Clement has played down talk that the Spanish club want to sign Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea.

De Gea, who has just 18 months left on his United deal, has emerged into one of the best stoppers in European football over the last couple of seasons.

Real Madrid were said to be preparing a big-money move for the Spanish international, but Clement has insisted that the club already have two "very good goalkeepers".

"I know nothing about it because we already have very good keepers here," Clement told talkSPORT.

Iker Casillas currently holds the number one position at the Bernabeu, with summer signing Keylor Navas second choice thus far this season.
