Real To Pay De Gea Compensation If They Don't Sign Him This Season

Real Madrid are still fighting hard to reel in David de Gea. But if the worst comes to the worst, both the club and the player are calm as they have come to an agreement that if United won't let them this summer, then he will become a 'Los Blancos' keeper the next one. The pact drawn up between the two parties dictates that should Real decide to go back on the plan, they would have to pay the keeper the equivalent of what will be a year's salary at his future club a cool €5 million net.

With this deal, Real Madrid can ensure that De Gea doesn't renew with Manchester United, the keeper knowing what he is to earn next year, a lot more than he is presently on under Van Gaal, although probably less than what he is about to be offered by the English club in the proposed contract renewal. The deal works out well for both De Gea and Real.


The amount agreed on between the keeper and the Spanish club if no deal can be sealed this summer will obviously be paid once De Gea becomes a Real Madrid player, as the United man is not at present free from his contractual obligations and is not able to do as he pleases.

The agreement has been made possible thanks to the intermediaries involved in the deal and the €5 million set aside as a penalty would be paid as a signing fee for having arrived on a free.
