Brentford goalkeeper David Raya has reiterated his desire to play in the Champions League amid speculation over his future at the London side and after being linked with a summer move to Manchester United.
Raya will enter the final 12 months of his contract at Brentford this summer, with the Spaniard admitting earlier this year that he had rejected two offers of a fresh deal. Bees manager Thomas Frank has also admitted it will be hard to keep hold of the shot-stopper beyond this season, with several Premier League sides keen on a move.
United are rumoured one of those sides, with the future of David De Gea still up in the air as talks over a fresh deal of his own stalled. The 32-year-old's current contract will expire in the summer, with the club opting against an automatic extension as they are wanting to reduce his £375,000-per-week wages.

And, asked about rumours United, along with Tottenham and Chelsea, are being linked with making the Brentford shotstopper an offer this summer, Raya admitted he is flattered by the apparent interest in him.
"Obviously it’s nice to hear that clubs are after you and asking about you and looking for you," Raya told the Yours, Mine, Away! podcast. "These clubs are the biggest in the world and every player wants to play for these clubs and everything.
"I have a year left and I don’t know what will happen in the summer. I’ve said before that I’ve had two contracts that I’ve turned down because they weren’t the offers I was looking for.
"I want to push myself to the highest level to the Champions League, the Europa League and to win those trophies. I want to experience that and I’m at that stage in my footballing career."
