Real Madrid are reportedly close to completing the signing of Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea for £29m.
The 24-year-old Spanish international has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu throughout the summer, and is yet to feature for the Red Devils this season.
The Independent reports that Madrid have sent club officials to Manchester to thrash out a deal for De Gea, with personal terms having already been agreed with the player.
The newspaper also claims that Los Blancos have no intention of including Gareth Bale in a deal for the goalkeeper, who moved to England from Atletico Madrid in 2011, and that Jasper Cillessen is being lined up as a replacement by United manager Louis van Gaal.
De Gea has made 131 appearances in the Premier League, winning the title under Sir Alex Ferguson in the 2012-13 campaign.
