David de Gea could delay the signing of a new contract until January due to concerns over the Champions League clause

Manchester United goalkeeper, David de Gea, is sweating at the club signing his new contract and could wait until January before deciding whether to sign up or not.

De Gea, whose current contract is due to expire at the end of the season, has already agreed on new terms and conditions with the club, worth around £ 350,000 a week, but has not yet hand in pen.

And, according to a report from the Sun, the Spaniard could extend the signing of this agreement until January, when other clubs could contact the player via a free transfer at the end of the season.

It is understood that one of the biggest hurdles to signing this new deal, which would put Old Trafford at the age of 28, is United's policy regarding qualifying for the Champions League.

This policy requires players to reduce their salary by 25% if the team of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fails to qualify for the competition of the best clubs in Europe at the end of the season.

That would give £ 350,000 per week to De Gea's lucrative income at just £ 263,000 a week.

Among the club's fans, who have followed closely the situation of the Spanish international, are Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, two long-time admirers, who could both enter into pre-contractual discussions with the player. January.

From Gea, who saw his contract extended by one year at the end of last season through a clause inserted by the club, would become the highest paid depository in the world with his salary of £ 350,000 per week.
