Man United making significant moves to sign Ajax stopper

Manchester United have prepared a £25million bid for Ajax goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen in the event of David De Gea’s departure, according to Daily Mirror.

Louis van Gaal is becoming increasingly worried at the prospect of losing current numberone and club player of the year David de Gea this summer to Real Madrid.

And, despite links to Tottenham Hotspur stopper Hugo Lloris and Chelsea back-up keeper Petr Cech, reports now claim that Cillessen is the favourite to replace the Spaniard.

The 26-year-old Dutch international is valued at around £25m and has been impressing United’s chief goalkeeper coach Frans Hoek.

Van Gaal is familiar with Cillessen, having worked with the keeper with the Netherlands side.

Further reports claim that United have made one last attempt to keep De Gea at the club but the wishes of his girlfriend and his desires are making a move back to the Spanish capital seem extremely likely.
