Spanish newspaper Marca claim United are firmly digging in their heels over the sale of De Gea.
And it's believed the departure of Iker Casillas to Porto has strengthened their bargaining power as Real Madrid desperately look to fill the breach.
Real's hopes of signing Espanyol's Kiko Casilla have hit a stumbling block over a price, with the Catalan club holding out for £7million.
However, Los Blancos are only willing to raise their offer to a maximum of £5.7m, meaning negotiations have stalled.
