Manchester United have confirmed that Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe have both left the club, while goalkeeper David De Gea is "still in talks over a potential new contract" and will not be included in the squad for next season.
David De Gea's future at MU is becoming very uncertain.
This also means that David De Gea and MU will part ways if the two sides still do not reach an agreement to sign a new contract, because the current contract is about to expire on June 30. Therefore, MU cannot include this Spanish goalkeeper in the list for next season.
"The two sides have been negotiating since March, with an agreement said to be close. However, the signing of a new contract has not yet taken place because some important details including the contract term and salary have not been agreed (need to be reduced by more than half compared to the current level of £375,000/week). In addition, David De Gea is also receiving and considering some more generous offers from Saudi Arabia," according to transfer information expert Fabrizio Romano.
The situation has pushed negotiations between goalkeeper David De Gea and MU to a standstill. "David De Gea is currently on vacation and has not responded to when negotiations will resume," said The Athletic .
The Old Trafford team recently came up with a backup plan to replace David De Gea, while contacting and negotiating the possibility of recruiting goalkeeper Andre Onana from Inter Milan. However, this 27-year-old Cameroon goalkeeper has a transfer fee of up to 70 million pounds.
Mason Mount still cannot go to MU because Chelsea demands a transfer fee of 70 million pounds
"This is a huge price. Similarly, the deal for MU to pursue the recruitment of attacking midfielder Mason Mount from Chelsea is also being offered a price of up to 70 million pounds (MU only offered 40 million pounds). Therefore, whether MU can meet the financial requirements for these transfers or not is an unanswered question, unless the team is transferred to a new owner from Qatar this summer. But the deal is likely to last until the middle of next season", according to The Athletic .
"MU will wait for a definitive answer from David De Gea after the summer break. The Spanish goalkeeper may agree to cut part of his current salary to continue staying at Old Trafford. However, this is also an adventure, because this goalkeeper is also receiving many offers from Saudi Arabia and is completely capable of leaving," added The Athletic .
