A Real Madrid spokesman has reportedly confirmed that the club will jump back into the market for Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old was on the verge of joining the Spanish giants last summer, but paperwork was filed after the deadline, meaning that the deal could not be finalised.
In a dramatic U-turn, De Gea signed a new long-term deal at Old Trafford in September, but reports have claimed that Madrid will make a fresh move for the shot-stopper, who is believed to have a £35m release clause.
The rumours have since been fuelled even further after a Madrid spokesman told The Telegraph: "Real Madrid will not attempt to sign David de Gea in the January window, but the club is proposed to sign him in the summer for next season."
The goalkeeper joined United from Atletico Madrid in 2011.
