Spain Starting price for Manchester United stopper

Spain now has a goalkeeper worth 60 million euros in David de Gea - and no one doubts that the Manchester United man is worth every penny.

At Old Trafford they know they have a treasure, Jose Mourinho confirming that the former Atletico Madrid keeper is not transferable soon after his own arrival at the club.

Julen Lopetegui also trusts De Gea implicitly and he is the indisputable No.1 for his country.

The episode from the summer of 2015 hasn't gone unnoticed at United.

A few days after his non-transfer to Real Madrid, De Gea signed a new contract with the English club that does not end until June 30, 2019, at which time he will be 28, the ideal age for a goalkeeper.

At that point, he should realistically be offered the best contract of his career.

Until that moment, and to avoid the appearance of interest of other teams, player, club and representative have agreed to sign a 60 million euro termination clause, which protects his immediate future as a 'Red Devil,' but doesn't close the door to any club willing to put that kind of money on the table.

So far, no one has paid that much for a goalkeeper, let alone had it as a starting price, and as soon as Mourinho arrived, the first thing he did was to ask about the situation of the goalkeeper because he wanted to keep him.

De Gea has played 18 times for his national team of which eleven were official games, and of those eleven the keeper has kept a clean sheet in eight of them.

Real Madrid has not forgotten about him even if they trust Keylor Navas.

Sixty million euros is a lot of money but you never say never in football.
