DE GEA: Hot property with Atletico Madrid
The talented keeper has emerged as a target for Red Devils boss
Sir Alex Ferguson and Spanish sources claim the Scot is unhappy
that Atleti will not even entertain talks over a potential
transfer
The capital club want to keep De Gea at the Vicente Calderon and
have no intention of allowing him to leave this summer.
It has been suggested Ferguson was willing to strike a deal
where he would be loaned back to his current club for another
season, with Edwin van der Sar extending his stay at Old Trafford
again.
However, Atletico officials have refused to enter into dialogue
with United over the 19-year-old Spaniard.
"My favourite goalkeeper is Gianluigi Buffon," he said recently.
"But I also admire Iker Casillas and Edwin van Der Sar."
Ferguson still has Ben Foster and Tomasz Kuszczak as back-up to
his No1 but still remains to be convinced that either can be the
Dutch veteran's long-term heir.
