Serie A giants Juventus are plotting a massive bid to seal a deal for Manchester United's goalkeeper David De Gea.
According to The Mirror report citing sources at UK Sun, the Italian outfit are set to open talks with the agent of the 27-year-old Spain international, who is yet to agree a new contract with the Red Devils.
Interestingly, the highly-talented goalkeeper De Gea is expected to end his present deal next summer, but Manchester United have the option of extending his contract for another 12 months.
De Gea was in action against the Italian champions, Juve in Tuesday's UEFA Champions League cracker against Man United at Old Trafford, but could not save the Red Devils from going down 0-1.
"De Gea played against his future club on Tuesday.
"Juve are experts in intelligent deals. If United don't sell him in the summer, Juventus will wait until the end of his contract," a Man United source was quoted as saying.
Early this month, the Spaniard ended talks over a proposed new deal with the Old Trafford chiefs and the EPL may be forced into a cut-price sale next summer with the risk of losing him for free 12 months later.
The Spanish No 1 shot-stopper was repeatedly linked with the Los Blancos in recent time, but all seems over after former Chelsea goalie, Thibaut Courtois headed to the Santiago Benebeau last summer.
