08:40 UPDATE: De Gea to Real Madrid EXCLUSIVE
Real Madrid are weighing up joining Paris Saint-Germain in the race to land David de Gea if he continues to stall signing a new contract with Manchester United.
De Gea has one more season left to run on his £240,000 a week deal and new United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is desperate for him to pen a new agreement.
But they are unable to agree terms with De Gea who wants parity with United’s highest earner Alexis Sanchez who picks up around £500,000 a week.
PSG are willing to meet his demands to replace veteran Italian Gianluigi Buffon while United have currently put around £350,000 a week on the table.
Real Madrid are also keeping tabs on talks after being far from impressed with Thibaut Courtois since his £35 million move for Chelsea last summer.
