Manchester United are ready to hand keeper David De Gea £20million ($36m) if he LEAVES for Paris Saint-Germain now.

According to The Sun, United’s money men are braced for a bid from the French outfit and will accept between £60m ($109m) and £75m ($136m).

And the Old Trafford club will have to give De Gea, 28, a whopping golden handshake to make him go now rather than wait until his United contract runs out next summer.

The figure of £20m is being mentioned by those involved and that would compensate United for the loss and may be enough for De Gea to up sticks sooner.

De Gea knows he stands to get a fortune from his next club if there is no transfer fee to be paid.

And he is happy to tough it out with United this summer unless he is paid to move on.

Insiders believe a compromise can be reached — and De Gea needs to be careful as there is a rival for the vacancy at PSG left by Italian Gianluigi Buffon.

Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris is the main alternative and could yet get the call in the next few weeks.

World Cup-winner Lloris, 32, is adored back home after leading France to glory in Russia 12 months ago. He has no plans to quit London but that could change if an offer comes in.

Spurs would demand a huge fee for Lloris but may do business.

The cash would buy a younger replacement, with several on the market, plus any surplus added to Mauricio Pochettino’s transfer kitty.
