Manchester United keeper David de Gea to buy Spanish club Elche?

Manchester United and Spain goalkeeper David de Gea is reportedly considering buying Spanish club Elche.

The Valencia-based club are currently playing in Spain's second division and were in La Liga as recently as 2015.

According to Super Deporte, the club are available for £16m and both parties are interested in taking talks further.

It is believed that the 28-year-old's interest in the side, currently managed by Pacheta, comes from his father being a massive fan of the team.

Elche's leading shareholder Jose Sepulcre had previously been negotiating a deal with player agent Christian Bragarnik, but talks have cooled in recent weeks.
