Real Madrid 'plan David de Gea swoop'

Real Madrid are plotting a summer move for Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea as Los Blancos look to bolster their squad, according to a report.

El Mundo Deportivo claims that manager Carlo Ancelotti is ready to part with either Iker Casillas or Diego Lopez, and that the Italian has earmarked De Gea as a potential replacement at the Bernabeu for next season.

It is thought that the 23-year-old has emerged on Real's radar after good performances saw the Spaniard cement his place as United's first choice shot-stopper.

De Gea has started all of the Red Devil's league fixtures this season, including their 3-0 win at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
