David De Gea is a superstar goalkeeper who has been with Manchester United for almost 7 years now. As part of his loyalty to the club, he has demanded £72.8m for a 10-year period.

During the transfer season, Real Madrid tried to approach De Gea, but he was not interested in making a move to La Liga. Manchester United well knows the importance of David in the team and hence they are working out the details of the contract.

If the deal goes through unchanged, David will be a super wealthy man. Few analysts say he wants pay similar to Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez.
