De Gea not on Real radar

Real Madrid are unlikely to make a summer move for Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, having agreed on a deal to sign River Plate's Augusto Batalla.

De Gea has been constantly associated with a summer switch to the Bernabeu in recent months, due to his excellent form at the post for the Red Devils.

However, Los Blancos have apparently withdrawn their desire to sign the Spain international, with the 24-year-old believed to be keen on committing his long-term future to United.

According to The Express, the European champions have opted to sign 18-year-old Batalla on loan for the next campaign, with a view to a permanent transfer in the summer of 2016.
