Contract negotiations between Manchester United and goalkeeper David de Gea are 'ongoing', according to a report.
The 32-year-old is currently enjoying his 12th season as a Red Devils player, but his long-term future has been called into question as his contract is due to expire at the end of the season.
De Gea is believed to be Man United's highest earner on around £375,000 per week, but the 20-time English top-flight champions are keen to reduce his wages after allegedly imposing a salary cap of £200,000 at the club following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Spanish shot-stopper, who is currently the longest-serving player in the Red Devils' squad, is said to be willing to take a significant pay cut to remain at Old Trafford.
Last month, De Gea expressed his desire to retire at Man United and provided a positive update regarding contract talks with the club.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, about contract talks with the club, De Gea said: "I'm very relaxed. I just focus on training, perform as best as I can. But, for sure, it's going to end in a good way.
"I hope (to stay for the rest of my career). I was saying this is my club, I've been here many, many years and it's a huge honour to be here and I'm so happy here."
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, positive conversations between De Gea and Man United over a new contract are 'ongoing'.
Romano adds that United have not trigged the 12-month extension in his contract as they are trying reach an agreement with the goalkeeper to lower his wages, with both parties hoping to finalise terms 'soon'.
The Italian journalist also claims that renewing the contracts of Marcus Rashford and Diogo Dalot are high on Man United's list of priorities as well as to 'accelerate' negotiations over a new deal for Alejandro Garnacho.
De Gea arrived at Man United from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2011 for what was at the time a British record fee for a goalkeeper of around £18.9m.
The 45-cap Spain international has since made a total of 524 appearances for the Red Devils across all competitions and has won eight major trophies, with Sunday's EFL Cup triumph the latest addition to his collection.
De Gea kept his 181st clean sheet for Man United in the 2-0 victory against Newcastle United at Wembley, surpassing legendary shot-stopper Peter Schmeichel to break the club's all-time record.
Should the Red Devils fail to agree terms with De Gea in the coming months, Brentford No.1 David Raya and Leeds United shot-stopper Illan Meslier have allegedly been identified as potential summer targets. body check tags ::
