My first article in English (football article)

I would like to start a discussion about De Gea.
First of all I have to confess this is my first article in English. In addition, it'd be great if all any of you could (or would) correct my mistakes and say tell me what level I have.

I have read a lot of articles saying giving (or telling) different versions of (no) De Gea's deal. In my opinion Real Madrid did had a bad strategy trying to sign the goalkeeper in the last minutes at the last minute. This is a usual (or typical) strategy of Florentino Pérez but in this case, it didn't work.

Some papers talk about a vengeance of Van Gaal after he tried to sign Ramos but the defender used the English team to sign negotiate a new contract with the Spanish team. We will never know it but I know Van Gaal and it is possible this theory is possible.

Real Madrid had all the "ingredients" necessary to sign De Gea. The Spaniard did agree with Real Madrid and Real Madrid with him. The Spanish team only had to fix the terms with Manchester paying and pay a reasonable fee. Real Madrid tried hold up (or hold off) till end of the transfer window and they failed.

Today, De Gea signed a new four-years contract with Manchester United. He said being that he is really happy in at the club but all of us know he wanted to move to Madrid. Now, De Gea's saga has changed. A situation which if Real Madrid want to sign the goalkeeper again they will have to spend too much even more money when they had a cheaper opportunity this summer.

What do you think about this? Do you think it was a vengeance of Van Gaal or it was fault of Real Madrid for being too slow?

Thanks to all of you for reading and correcting my article.

Very good Alberto. Your written English is excellent.

I think Edurne was the only person who really wanted the transfer to happen.

My corrections are in red and my suggestions to sound more natural are in blue/grey.

"in the last minutes / at the last minute" - While in this case Madrid did literally try to sign him in the last few minutes, I think you were intending to use the common phrase "at the last minute", which means that you do something at the latest possible time - not always literally in the last 60 seconds. For example if a player is signed six hours before the transfer deadline, it's still considered "at the last minute" because they had three months to make the decision.
