Chelsea and Manchester United have shown interest in the Brentford goalkeeper David Raya, who will enter the final year of his contract this summer.
Manchester United and Chelsea have signaled an interest in a possible bargain deal for the Brentford goalkeeper David Raya and are prepared to go to battle over the Spanish international.
Raya represents a bargain for England's top clubs
The 27-year-old Spaniard has yet to agree new terms at Brentford and is likely to be available for a reduced price if no new deal is signed before next season.
)
He has publicly been coy about his future and the potential for a bargain has alerted several of the Premier League’s top clubs, who have long tracked his role in Brentford’s rise to eighth in the division.
Man United and Chelsea keen on Raya
Erik ten Hag must be concerned as the club is yet to agree fresh terms with David de Gea, whose current deal has five months to run.
Chelsea have their own conundrums to solve: Edouard Mendy is yet to agree a contract extension while Kepa Arrizabalaga’s long-term status remains uncertain.
)
Raya’s capacity to distribute the ball from the back has few parallels in the top flight and his potential availability is attractive to both clubs, who have now enquired about the player’s situation.
The keeper who began his professional career at Blackburn has since become a full international for Spain and there has been little indication he will further extend his commitment to Brentford.
