Real Madrid 'close to agreeing David de Gea fee with Manchester United'

Real Madrid are allegedly on the verge of agreeing a fee with Manchester United for goalkeeper David de Gea.

The Spanish giants will pay an initial sum of £18m for the 24-year-old plus an additional £3.5m based on performances, according to Marca.

De Gea is said to be keen on the move after taking time off to decide where his future lies.

The shot-stopper is expected to become Rafael Benitez's first signing at Real this summer.
