but wants huge star in return. Real Madrid may finally have hope in their pursuit of Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, but a deal would come at a big price.
The Red Devils have fended off Real’s interest in the Spain international for two summers running, but according to reports they may finally be giving in.
According to Spanish football site Don Balon, a deal could finally be struck if Jose Mourinho is willing to accept a swap deal for the ‘keeper.
The report claims that Isco and James Rodriguez have already been offered to United, but Mourinho wants one of Madrid’s top stars in return, such as Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Raphael Varane or Luka Modric.
Let's be honest if we sell DDG, get in Milan's donnarumma. Regarding the swap deal i would take any 2 of Kroos/Rodriguez/Isco/Casemiro. It's probably just rumors but which 2 players would you pick for DDG?
Mourinho open to De Gea swap

Stats are great, however, a more measured, mature analysis of LVG would be that his football philosophy was the equivalent of a poo factory doing double shifts producing extra poo in readiness for poo week. I could probably calculate the poo to good ratio to as many decimal points as you like. Even his moment of glory at Wembley was a bit poo.
There's a special kind of football hell reserved for managers like him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The ratio was 12.3548735692, right Hafi?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well .....yes ....but only because you stopped at 10 decimal places - Hafi would have gone to at least 30

Wouldn't want any of them for de Gea. They'll see a move to United as a step down for a start. Caramel hardly gets a game, I've never been overly impressed by Zcasemiro, if Rodriguez can't do it in la liga I have no hope for his premiership credentials and Modric would be a great acquisition... 5 years ago.

Madrid are lucky to have kroos and modric in the same team. Personally i would love to get casemiro and kroos

Modric would still be a ridiculous acquisition, he's hardly a pensioner.

im pretty sure if carrick still has it at age 36 modric can do the same role just need a defensive midfielder with modric and pogba pulling the strings

Modric is 31 - a short term solution make no mistake. In 2 years we'd be back to where we've been with Carrick for the last couple of years.
De Gea is still in the infancy of his career. Would be a ludicrous swap.

DDG for Kroos would be a good swap
Especially if as is fairly likely, DDG is pushing for this move. He wanted to go back 2 years ago. Perhaps he was told if he stayed for an it we'd let him go in the future

Kroos would be a more palatable trade off at 27.
