Manchester United to make a €100 million move for Marc Andre Ter Stegen
According to Don Balon, management at Manchester United are afraid that David De Gea may move to Real Madrid or even PSG this summer. In that scenario, the Red Devils are looking to have a replacement ready if De Gea decides to change loyalties.
United have identified Barcelona's Marc Andre Ter Stegen as the perfect choice to succeed De Gea and are ready to make a €100 million offer for the German. It is also believed that a serious interest from Mourinho's side may lure Ter Stegen to the Premier League.
