Former President Says Real Madrid Should Not Sign De Gea

Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon, has insisted the club does not need to sign David De Gea from Manchester United.

The Spanish goalkeeper, whose current deal runs out next year, has been heavily linked with a £30million summer move to the Bernabeu giants.

However, Calderon says Madrid already has the best stopper in the world and there is no need trying to get his compatriot from Old Trafford.

“We already have the best goalkeeper in the world, which is Casillas,” said Calderon.

“We also have just bought Keylor Navas. I don’t see any need to get any other goalkeeper.

“De Gea is perhaps also one of the top five goalkeepers in the world but Casillas can still be at the top for three or four years. I don’t see any need [for De Gea].”
