An original contract proposal from Manchester United that included lower pay was turned down by David de Gea.
The Spaniard is in the final year of his contract at Old Trafford, and it has been said for months that if he signs a new deal, he will have to accept a sizable pay cut in order to remain at the club.
De Gea currently earns a staggering £375,000 per week, making it obvious why the club's management wants to lower this. De Gea is United's highest-paid player.
The 32-year-old, according to The Athletic, is dissatisfied with the current United deal and rejected it right away, but negotiations are anticipated to "reach a positive conclusion."
Despite rumors that he was looking for a new No. 1, the report indicates that Erik ten Hag is content with De Gea continuing to play in goal for the foreseeable future.
This also likely confirms what fans already believed about Dean Henderson's future; the Carrington graduate is currently on loan with Nottingham Forest in the Midlands and appears destined to conclude a permanent move away from United this summer when he returns.
