David de Gea rejects Man Utd contract offer over 'unsatisfactory' salary reduction

David de Gea has rejected Manchester United's initial contract offer - but talks remain ongoing.

The Spaniard's deal at Old Trafford is winding down and he is seeking to iron out his future after more than a decade in Manchester. Discussions between the club and the individual continue, as players rarely accepting opening offers.

De Gea signed a hefty deal in 2019 that made him not only the club's highest-paid player but also the Premier League's top earner on £375,000 per week. The goalkeeper accepts that at the age of 32, he cannot command the same type of money, but still wants an amount that reflects his value.
