David De Gea is set to sign a new long-term contract worth £375,000 a week when Manchester United return from their pre-season tour.
The deal, which is worth significantly more after bonuses, will make De Gea the highest paid goalkeeper in the world.
The 28-year-old is in the final year of his current £200,000-a-week contract and could have left Old Trafford as a free agent next summer amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
But De Gea, who came within minutes of joining Real Madrid in 2015, has indicated that he is ready to commit his long-term future to United.
He has been at the club for eight years since signing from Spanish side Atletico Madrid for £18.9m.
Manchester United’s tour continues with a friendly against Leeds United at the Optus Stadium on Wednesday.
