Real Madrid want David De Gea to replace Iker Casillas report the Daily Mirror.

De Gea, who started in goals as Spain thrashed minnows Luxemborg 4-0 in their Euro 2016's qualifier, is starting to prove his worth in goal for both club and country.

Madrid are set to test De Gea's desire to stay in England with a £25 million bid for the former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper.

De Gea's Manchester United contract expires in 2016 and Marca, a Spanish newspaper, now links Real Madrid with a move for the player. 

The 23-year-old goalkeeper is now into his fourth season at Old Trafford and made a series of stunning saves in the Red Devils last home win over Everton.
