David de Gea will turn down the chance to sign a new contract at Manchester United to complete a move to Paris Saint-Germain, according to a report.

David de Gea will reportedly turn down the chance to sign a new contract at Manchester United to complete a move to Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.

De Gea's current deal with United will expire in June 2019, and despite the Red Devils having the option of a 12-month extension, there remains huge uncertainty surrounding his future.

The 27-year-old is believed to be weighing up his future at Old Trafford, with Jose Mourinho's side currently struggling to challenge for the major trophies.

The Spain international is said to be 'on a three-man Juventus shortlist' as the Old Lady look for a new number one following the departure of Gianluigi Buffon at the end of last season.

De Gea had previously been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid, but the European champions signed Thibaut Courtois as their new number one ahead of the 2018-19 campaign.

According to the Daily Mail, De Gea's future has now been decided, with Spain's number one due to become the best-paid goalkeeper in the world by completing a move to PSG.

The report claims that De Gea will earn more than £60m with a four-year contract at Parc des Princes, and United are already looking at replacements for the former Atletico Madrid stopper.

Indeed, Everton and England number one Jordan Pickford is said to be on United's radar as they prepare to lose De Gea.
