Mourinho to trigger £200,000-a-week Man Utd option in De Gea deal
Posted Saturday, January 14, 2017 by Tribalfootball.com
The Sun says Mourinho will activate a one-year extension in David de Gea's contract this summer.
The 26-year-old Spanish stopper – a long-time transfer target of Real Madrid – has two years left on his current United deal.
But Old Trafford chiefs are ready to extend his stay until 2020, and will also give him a bumper pay-rise.
It is thought de Gea's wages of £180,000-a-week will be increased past the £200,000 mark, making him one of the highest paid players in the Premier League.
A United insider said: “The club are looking to exercise their option to extend David's deal this summer.
"He will be given a pay increase. He has consistently been one of the best goalkeepers in the world for a number of years now.
"There shouldn't be any problems, but clubs have been sniffing around him for a number of years now."
United added a 12-month extension clause in to de Gea's contract when he renewed back in 2015.
