David de Gea in Talks to Sign Big Money Deal after Manchester United Exit

David de Gea has reportedly opened talks for a move to Saudi Arabia just days after his Manchester United exit.

According to Football Insider, De Gea’s agent, Jorge Mendez, is working to get a big-money deal over the line for the Spaniard. European clubs are also interested in signing him on a free transfer.

However, Saudi clubs are currently the favorites to land him considering they are offering him huge wages. De Gea’s exit from Manchester United was confirmed on 8 July.

Erik ten Hag’s side are close to sealing a £50 million move for Inter Milan star Andre Onana to become their new No. 1. De Gea spent 12 years at Old Trafford, where he made 545 appearances and kept 190 clean sheets.

The 32-year-old was consistently the club’s first-choice goalkeeper for the entirety of his stay in Manchester. But despite a statistically impressive individual 2022-23 campaign, there were doubts about his efficacy on the ball.

De Gea won the Premier League Golden Glove last season, keeping 17 clean sheets in 38 games. It remains to be seen which Saudi Pro League club, if any, will sign the former Atletico Madrid shot-stopper this summer.
