De Gea has been in superb form at Old Trafford this season, arguably being United’s best player in a number of games, and the club would surely not want to let him go as he approaches his peak.
Still, Real want a long-term replacement for the ageing Iker Casillas, and may only be willing to let their record signing Bale return to the Premier League if they can sign someone in return.
The Welsh winger has been linked with a £100m move to United but a swap deal would surely bring his fee down, which may prove tempting for the Red Devils.
