The Manchester United goalkeeper has been on Madrid’s radar ever since he joined the Red Devils and they came close to signing him in the summer of 2015.
A deal fell through on deadline day, but Madrid look to have finally got their wish this time around with Spanish publication Marca claiming De Gea has already told Jose Mourinho of his desire to leave.

Chelsea have reportedly made a £36million bid for Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.
The Senegal international was the subject of interest from the Blues last summer but Napoli rejected their advances.
