Former Manchester United player, De Gea is considering retirement at 32
- Spanish goalkeeper has been free on the market since the end of June
- His name was mentioned at giants like Real Madrid and Bayern, but nothing progressed
Most valuable player still free on the transfer market , David De Gea has not yet found a new home to continue his professional career. And the lack of opportunities seems to lead the 32-year-old Spanish goalkeeper to consider something that few people imagined would happen at this point in his life: retirement .
According to the investigation by “The Guardian” newspaper and other international press vehicles, De Gea was not encouraged by the offers received from the new rising market in world football, the Saudi Championship , refusing the advances from the Arab World with the aim of to stay in Europe and play for a club that offered him the possibility of titles . However, the veteran did not receive proposals from top European teams, a scenario that, if maintained, should culminate in the athlete’s decision to end his career .
Hired by Manchester United in 2010 , De Gea said goodbye to the Red Devils at the end of the 2022/23 season, when his contract with the English club ended and was not renewed. For the Spanish goalkeeper’s vacancy, Manchester spent a “small fortune” to take André Onana from Inter Milan .
In total, De Gea played 545 matches with the red shirt, winning eight titles: one Premier League , one Europa League, one FA Cup, two League Cups and three Super Cups.
