08:40 UPDATE: De Gea to Real Madrid EXCLUSIVE
Real Madrid are weighing up joining Paris Saint-Germain in the race to land David de Gea if he continues to stall signing a new contract with Manchester United.

“It would be a big signing. If he was coming back to England, I’m sure that everyone would take him.
“With Bale, when Madrid beat Liverpool in the final, he had that bit of X factor.
“Liverpool could maybe do with one more X factor player to score in the finals.
“That’s what we’ve lacked that bit of X factor to get us over the line.”
