Manchester United 'Confident' of Making David De Gea Best-Paid EPL Goalkeeper

Manchester United are reportedly ready to make star No. 1 David De Gea the best-paid goalkeeper in the Premier League and are confident the Spain international will extend his stay at the club.

The Red Devils have the option of extending De Gea's current deal, which expires next summer, by a further year. However, the Daily Mail's Jack Gaughan reported they're ready to tie him to new terms worth £200,000 per week, the highest salary for any stopper in England's top flight.

Real Madrid's £32 million capture of Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea has taken one major figure out of the race in United's efforts to retain De Gea, with Los Blancos having been persistently linked with the Spain No.
