But De Gea has hit back at the claims and said the matter was being dealt with by his lawyers.
He said: “It is all a lie.
“I feel even stronger about staying with the national team… it is all false and it is in my lawyers hands.
“I never thought about leaving. It gives me more strength to train even harder.”

The allegations say the United number one arranged for his former Spanish under-21 teammate Iker Muniain and an unnamed player to meet the prostitute for sexual relations against her will.
Spanish website El Diario reports the stunning allegations were part of evidence given to prosecutors in a high profile case that saw porn baron Torbe, real name Ignacio Allende Fernandez arrested.
The pot-bellied director was remanded in custody in April after being accused of running a prostitution ring and using under-age girls for his shoots.

The witness, identified as TP3, alleges De Gea arranged the meeting with Torbe on behalf of Muniain and the other player at a five start hotel in Madrid in 2012.
The Spanish investigator are reported to believe the evidence of TP3 and two other women interviewed has a “high degree of credibility.”
The police report, dated June 3, 2015, said: “After leaving the woman in the room with the other girl, Torbe told her they had to be with the footballers and would have to agree to everything they wanted and that they would earn more money.

“When she refused, Torbe took her firmly by the arm, without waiting for her reply, and she had to do everything they wanted, which involved them having sex with the new girl and her.
“The new girl and her were both sexually abused by the boys, because if they refused they were physically attacked by both.
“Once the footballers had satiated their sexual desires, they threatened them so that everything that happened in that room never saw the light of day.
“It is worth nothing that neither the witness or the other girl who were in their room earned anything for all the physical and sexual attacks they received with Torbe keeping all the money.”
At another interview on May 6 this year with the force to combat human trafficking in Madrid, the protected witness gave names to the players who participated in the episode of the hotel.

She said that those involved in the were Iker Muniain and a second player, and that the meeting was arranged by De Gea and Torbe.
There is also a claim Torbe filmed the rape of a minor and sent the video of the film to De Gea and other Athletic players.
Police sources close to the case confirmed: “The police documents reproduced in the press are genuine.“We can’t say anything else at this stage.”
De Gea has not been accused of any criminal offence, or been arrested.
El Diario quoted Iker Muniain’s agent as saying: “We have no knowledge of this. No-one from the police or the court have been in touch with us.”
It said De Gea’s official spokesman had declined to make a comment.
The United keeper, currently in France with Spain for Euro 2016, has been dating girlfriend Edurne Garcia for nearly six years.
She performed for Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest last year but finished in 21st place with just 15 points.
She lives in Spain but is thought to see her boyfriend once every few weeks, either in Manchester or in their homeland.
Torbe is currently being detained accused of corrupting minors, distributing child pornography and people trafficking.
He is the founder of one of Spain’s biggest pornography sites, Putalocura.
