Los Blancos are determined to replace Keylor Navas and their pursuit of Kepa Arrizabalaga has stalled

And claim Bernabeu chiefs will throw around £87million at Manchester United to try and finally land long-term target De Gea, 27.

The Spaniard has enjoyed another brilliant season at Old Trafford and is one of Jose Mourinho's most important players.

But De Gea - who began his career with Atletico Madrid - has consistently been linked with a return to the Spanish capital.

He still has next season left on his current £200,000-a-week deal before an option for a further 12 months kicks in.

And Mourinho has confirmed that the club's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward is looking at a new five-year contract to keep the 27-year-old out of Real's clutches.

The Chelsea stopper has just 18 months to run on his current £100,000-a-week deal.

But  report that fresh terms are on the table worth £200,000 per week - with Stoke's Jack Butland eyed in case talks grind to a halt.
