I don't think Madrid would sign De Gea tbh.
He's not the kind of keeper you sign to keep on the bench, so that would mean that Iker would either have to leave or sit on the bench... replacing one of Real Madrid's biggest legends ever with an Atlético boy could make the transition difficult. Many fans would be reluctant to accept him at first, and if he has a rough start then he's going to get a lot of shit from the media and many fans will be pissed off.
I think El Dave would do well anywhere he played, but there'd be a lot of pressure and I don't know if Madrid would want to take the risk. The only way I could see it working out would be if Iker took the first step and said he wanted to leave at the end of this season, but that would kill his chances of starting for la Roja in the Euro, which will most likely be his last major tournament with the national team.
Even if he get's off to a flying start, they'll end up booing him and making him the scapegoat if he starts making a few mistakes or gets into a rough period.
