Peña Madridista, in Cuba!

Jesé has been thinking about his situation at Real Madrid for several months and now, having been brought on in time added on in the Champions League second leg against Atleti, he’s made a decision: he’s fed up not playing and wants to leave in June.

The footballer is tired of the few opportunities he’s been given since coming back from injury and despite Real going through to the semi-finals against their city rivals (1-0, with the goal coming from Chicharito) Jesé left the Bernabéu in a terrible mood. And told his inner circle that he wants away from Madrid this summer.

This isn’t something new though. He’s been thinking seriously about the situation since March, when he admitted to people close to him: “If the situation doesn’t change, I’m leaving”. Since then there have been changes, but only for the worse. Chicharito has moved ahead of him, with Ancelotti preferring the Mexican when he needs a back-up striker. Jesé is in a very similar situation to the one Morata found himself in last year.

Jesé hasn’t had an easy season. He’s only played 417 minutes, just 18% of those possible since he came back from injury. Lucas Silva is the only player who’s had less minutes than the striker. The club though aren’t thinking about a sale of the last gem from the academy and if Jesé demands to leave they’ll only consider a loan deal or possibly a sale with repurchase option.

David de Gea is the chosen one to be the next Real Madrid goalkeeper. The player earmarked by Vicente del Bosque for a "soft transition" to replace Casillas for Spain could also be Iker's successor at the Bernabéu.

'Los Blancos' and De Gea have agreed comprehensive terms, but the most difficult and tortuous part is yet to come - negotiations with Manchester United.

At the Real Madrid offices in Concha Espina, Florentino Pérez and those around him have been quite clear about the fact that signing a keeper for next season is a top priority. And they firmly believe that De Gea is going to be the Spanish no. 1 over the next ten years, and will take over from Casillas in due course.

The club rates this factor very highly, that whoever inherits the mantle from a legend such as Iker should also be a Spanish goalkeeper, someone who could follow in the veteran's distinguished footsteps for club and country. Once De Gea became aware that Real Madrid's interest was serious, the idea of renewing his contract with United, up in 2016, was dropped.

Since then, the shotstopper has rejected a string of big-money offers from the suits at Old Trafford, the last of which was worth €7.5 million a season after tax.

It is worth noting that De Gea's agent, Jorge Mendes, has a fantastic relationship both with Florentino Pérez and with the United owners. He was instrumental in the talks between Real Madrid and De Gea and now has a key role to play to broker a transfer. The Red Devils higher-ups do not want De Gea to go, but have had to face the fact that the Atlético academy graduate wants to leave. That doesn't mean they are going to make it easy, however… or cheap.

If it weren't for his contractual situation, De Gea, who turns 25 in November, would easily be worth €50m, as he is viewed as one of the top goalies in the world alongside Thibaut Courtois and Manuel Neuer. United forked out €20m to prise him from the Calderón in 2011 and his stock has only risen since then. Real Madrid are willing to pay a world-record fee for a goalkeeper to land their man, but they remain hopeful that they can secure his signature for no more than €30m.
