I thought that De Gea's contract expires at the end of this season. I heard rumours a few months ago that Juventus would be interested and would go for De Gea because he is free. Szczesny would be sold in that case and the money from that sale would be reinvested in another player.

De Gea is also interesting because he is from Spain and Juve is looking for more marketing and bigger share of the Spanish market.
