David De Gea To Sign New Manchester United Contract On Reduced Wages

  • David De Gea reached an agreement with Manchester United as the fandom remains divided on the player’s place in the team.

  • The Spanish international’s contract clause reportedly involves taking a pay cut.

  • This could lend credence to the reports that Manchester United are set to place a wage structure at the club to limit how much players earn.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United goalkeeper, David De Gea, has reportedly reached an agreement on a new contract with the club. The Spanish shot-stopper’s current deal is set to expire this summer, although United have the option to extend it for an additional 12 months.

Having considered their financial situation, United decided against activating the one-year option they held on De Gea’s contract. Under the existing terms, De Gea was earning a salary of over £350,000 per week, which was reflective of the club’s participation in the UEFA Champions League.

However, with the recent announcement of financial losses and the need to manage their wage bill, Manchester United pursued an alternative arrangement to retain De Gea’s services.

According to reports from Telegraph UK, the club and the player have agreed on a new contract that involves a reduction in De Gea’s wages but extends over a longer duration.

Although specific details of the contract remain undisclosed, it is understood that the 32-year-old goalkeeper has willingly accepted a “significant wage cut” in exchange for the security of an extended deal. The revised agreement is believed to include performance-based incentives tied to the number of matches played by De Gea.

This development comes as Manchester United continues to assess and adapt its financial strategies, aiming to achieve a sustainable financial model amid challenging circumstances.

The club’s decision to negotiate a new contract with De Gea demonstrates their commitment to retaining his services while simultaneously addressing the economic realities they face.
