Neymar sale to fund PSG move for Manchester United's David De Gea

Posted Sunday, November 25, 2018 by ESPN

Paris Saint-Germain want Manchester United's David De Gea and will make him the best-paid goalkeeper in the world, according to the Mail.

Spain international De Gea is out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the season and the Mail says he "has been stalling on a new deal."

It reports that PSG will offer £300,000 a week and adds that the French champions can "get around financial fair play restrictions by selling Neymar to Real Madrid and building their team around Kylian Mbappe."

The report comes amid frustration in United's attempts to tie De Gea to new terms, with PSG "now the clear front-runners and able to sign a pre-contract agreement with him in January."

It means United boss Jose Mourinho could now increase his focus on a move for Everton and England keeper Jordan Pickford.

Meanwhile, the Mirror says Mourinho is set to move for West Ham's Marko Arnautovic. The Portuguese boss is ready to pay £50 million for Arnautovic, with reports suggesting the Austria international would consider a move from the London Stadium.

But United could wait until the summer in their pursuit of Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, the Mirror adds, because they can activate a £26.5m release clause in his contract once the season ends.
