- After departing Manchester United at the conclusion of his contract, David de Gea is still a free agent.
- Despite the fact that there was interest in the goalie, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid chose not to propose a contract to him.
- The Spanish player is adamant about staying in Europe and is avoiding the opportunity to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.
It has been revealed by sources to 90min that David de Gea may decide to retire from the sport of football if he does not receive a suitable offer to return to the game. In the meanwhile, he is continuing to resist advances from the Saudi Pro League.
Following his departure from Manchester United before the expiration of his contract in June, the Spaniard is still without a club to call his own. The Red Devils failed to finalize a new contract and withdrew their initial offer, despite the fact that he had reached an agreement with them over the details of a new deal.
In the summer, 90min reported that Bayern Munich and Real Madrid had explored potential transfers for De Gea; however, neither club ultimately made an offer to acquire the goalkeeper services of the player.
De Gea has made it obvious to interested parties from the Middle East that he would prefer to remain in Europe, despite the fact that clubs in the Saudi Pro League and Qatari Stars League have expressed interest in signing him. 90min has this information under our possession.
Cristiano Ronaldo, a former teammate of De Gea’s at Manchester United, has been attempting to persuade De Gea to join him at Al Nassr, but the goalkeeper has expressed no intention of changing his position at this time.
De Gea is eager to return to the Champions League, and he is willing to wait until the January transfer window opens before making a decision about his next move.
In the event that he does not receive the “right offer,” however, insiders have informed 90min that De Gea will evaluate the possibility of retiring.
Atletico Madrid and Manchester United are the only two clubs that De Gea has played for throughout his whole career up until this moment. De Gea will turn 33 in November. Since the year 2020, he has not participated in any matches for the Spanish national team, and he was not included in their squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The man who succeeded him at Manchester United, Andre Onana, has had a difficult beginning to his tenure at Old Trafford. Most recently, he was responsible for a goal that was scored with little effort during their Champions League match against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, which they lost 4-3.
In the course of his final season at Manchester United, De Gea was subjected to criticism for his inability to play from the back and with his feet. Onana, on the other hand, is particularly skilled in this area.
