The agent of Spain international David de Gea, Jorge Mendes, has confirmed he has entered contract talks with Manchester United over a new deal for the in-form goalkeeper.
De Gea, 24, has been the subject of reported interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid in recent times.
Some reports have suggested De Gea, United s Player of the Year in 2013/14, has already agreed a deal to join Los Blancos in the summer, but Mendes has rubbished such speculation.
I am negotiating with Manchester United about De Gea s renewal, Mendes told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.
It is not true that De Gea has found a deal with Real Madrid. I m negotiating with Manchester United his extension.
De Gea, whose current contract at Old Trafford is set to expire in the summer of 2016, has kept seven clean-sheets in 24 English Premier League appearances this season.
Suarez turns the corner
FC Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has revealed he never got nervous despite a tough start to his career at the Camp Nou.
The Uruguay international, who joined Barcelona from Liverpool for €94 million last summer, has bagged just seven goals, including one in Barca s 5-2 thrashing of Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, in 22 appearances in all competitions for the Catalan side in 2014/15.
However, after a wonderful performance against Bilbao on Sunday, Suarez is confident the goals will continue to come.
I did not get nervous, because the only thing I worry about is not being able to help the team, Suarez told Canal Plus. I m very self critical and when I play badly, I get very angry.
But I knew that the goals would come and, with the support from my teammates and my family, now they have arrived. It is a pleasure to play alongside phenomena like Leo and Neymar.
Yaya Toure delighted with Côte d Ivoire triumph at AFCON
Côte d Ivoire captain Yaya Toure is over the moon after a dramatic penalty shootout win over Ghana in the Africa Cup of Nations final.
After helping his country win their first continental title in 22 years, Toure told reporters: When you win with your club it s quite amazing but with your country it s unbelievable.
I ve been waiting I don t know how many years to lift this trophy – as captain it is something special. The luck came to our side today. I m delighted and very happy.
I ve failed twice in final and it was hard to take. Today is fantastic. It was a great stress because of the penalties. I must congratulate Copa [goalkeeper Boubacar Barry]. He showed us the true example of solidarity.
Toure, 31, is arguably the beating heart of Manchester City, as the club having failed to win a game without him this season.
