Manchester United and Chelsea are both tracking the development of Atletico Madrid’s emerging shot-stopper David de Gea, according to reports from the English press.
The Daily Mirror comments that the 19-year old, who was an integral figure in Los Colchoneros’ Europa League triumph, is being watched by the Premier League giants, who are preparing an offer to prise him from the Vicente Calderon.
It is understood that the La Liga side would command a fee in the region of €30m for De Gea, who was selected for Spain coach Vicente del Bosque’s provisional 30-man squad for the World Cup in South Africa.
Both English sides have received glowing scouting reports on the young goalkeeper, who burst onto the scene this season, displacing Sergio Asenjo as Atletico Madrid’s first choice midway through the campaign.
However, a stumbling block may be the excessive transfer fee, which may prompt both sides to search for alternative targets as they build for next season.
Manchester United keeper Edwin van der Sar recently signed a one-year contract extension, while Petr Cech remains Chelsea’s number one.
