Manchester United's chances of holding on to David De Gea have been given a boost after Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas stated his determination to stay at the club.
Madrid have been tracking United's Spanish stopper all summer but are yet to make a bid for the player due to the high asking price.
Manager Louis van Gaal has left the 24-year-old out of his squads for United's six matches this season.
And yesterday replacement Sergio Romero made a costly mistake to gift Bafetimbi Gomis a goal and seal a 2-1 defeat to Swansea.
A deal for De Dea must be completed today with the transfer window closing in Spain.
But according to Spanish radio station Cadena SER the transfer has hit a stumbling block because Navas has no intention of leaving Madrid.
The report states a deal for De Gea is dependent on Navas exiting the Bernabeu.
Navas inherited Madrid's number 1 shirt after Iker Casillas joined Porto and the Costa Rican saved a penalty against Real Betis on Saturday to illustrate his class.
