SHOCKING NEWS: coming from Fabrizio Romano, Former Manchester United has agreed on a blockbuster deal to return back to action with a shocking premier League team. De Gea, 33, left United in June after 12 years at the club – during which time he made 545 appearances. Despite winning the Premier League Golden Glove in his final season at Old Trafford, the goalkeeper was allowed to leave after the club opted not to sign the contract extension. Announcement soon to be made. De Gea is finally back to action.
Due to Manchester United's decision not to renew his contract, David de Gea has been without a team since the summer.
Al-Shabab, the Saudi Arabian side, is reportedly interested in offering a return to football for former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, who departed the club in June after an impressive 12-year tenure, featuring 545 appearances. Despite securing the Premier League Golden Glove in his final season, De Gea left when the club chose not to extend his contract. Although potential moves to Real Madrid and Newcastle never materialized, recent reports suggest that Al-Shabab is currently negotiating with the former Atletico Madrid shot-stopper.
This pursuit of De Gea is part of a broader recruitment drive by Al-Shabab, involving attempts to acquire talents like Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitic, Newcastle’s Miguel Almiron, and Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech. The club, presently struggling in the Saudi Pro League after dismissing ex-Liverpool star Igor Biscan, has also reportedly engaged in talks with former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, who is currently without a managerial position following his departure from AS Roma.
In a parallel development, there are indications that Manchester United is closely monitoring the situation of Jan Oblak at Atletico Madrid. Reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes suggest that Atletico might entertain offers for their primary goalkeeper. Despite having signed Andre Onana from Inter as De Gea’s replacement in the summer, Manchester United appears keen on bringing Slovakian international Oblak to England. The club is reportedly optimistic that a bid of approximately £38.5 million could persuade Atletico to engage in negotiations.
These potential transfers and managerial changes underscore the dynamic nature of football’s transfer market, with clubs actively seeking to strengthen their squads and secure top-tier talents to enhance their competitive edge in various leagues.
