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

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.

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.
