Juventus look to hijack De Gea move to PSG as race for Man Utd ace hots up
David de Gea looks set to head for the Old Trafford exit door

MANCHESTER UNITED goalkeeper David de Gea could be targeted by Juventus for a summer transfer, according to reports.

De Gea, 28, who has one year left to run on his existing contract, has seen his form nosedive over the past few weeks.

The Spanish shot-stopper has been increasingly scrutinised over his performances and he has made some high-profile blunders, including one against Manchester City in midweek when he allowed a shot from Leroy Sane to squirm underneath him.

SunSport exclusively revealed on Friday that Paris Saint-Germain are trying to lure De Gea to the Parc des Princes with a £60million offer and wages of £360,000 a week.

But according to French news outlet Le10 Sport, Juventus have designs on trying to sign De Gea.

The report indicates that the Serie A giants are on the lookout to sign a replacement for Wojciech Szczesny who could be off at the end of the season.

UNITED CLEAROUT

De Gea's prospective transfer could see a number of player exits from Old Trafford in the summer.

Eric Bailly, who is being eyed by Arsenal, could head for the door, while Romelu Lukaku has already hinted he wishes to ply his trade in Italy.

He said: "Playing in Serie A is a dream, it would be really a dream.

"I hope to be able to play sooner or later, even if at the moment I am focused on United."

Despite his woeful displays of late, De Gea is expected to retain his starting spot for when United host Chelsea tomorrow at Old Trafford.
