De Gea has £30m release clause in new United contract

David De Gea’s new four-year contract at Manchester United, includes a £30m buy-out clause, according to The Sun on Sunday.

The Spain international signed a new deal at Old Trafford last Friday, after his transfer to Real Madrid fell through at the last minute.

According to the report, De Gea, who now earns £200,000 a week, insisted on the release clause being inserted in the contract.

Speaking after committing himself to the club, the goalkeeper said: “I am delighted to be starting this new chapter in my United career.

“I have always enjoyed playing with these great players in front of our fantastic fans. Manchester United is a special club and Old Trafford is an ideal place for me to continue to develop my career.

“I’m looking forward to putting a difficult summer behind me and concentrating on working hard to improve and help my teammates to be successful.”
