Former Manchester United star and Spanish international David de Gea is currently the talk of the town as he becomes a hot commodity in the football market.
De Gea’s contract at Old Trafford expired on June 30 and now he’s exploring new opportunities to showcase his skills.
Initially, there were rumours swirling around that the Spaniard might join Inter Milan. However, these hopes were dashed due to his hefty wage demands, reported to be an astonishing £167,000-a-week.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the 32-year-old goalkeeper De Gea has caught the eye of the German club Bayern Munich. As we all know, the club has a reputation for building strong teams and maintaining an impressive track record. With their first-choice goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, currently out of action due to a leg break, the Bavarian are looking for an experienced backup, and De Gea seems to fit the bill perfectly.
Bayern Munich are reportedly gearing up to initiate talks with the 32-year-old stopper, exploring the possibility of bringing him on board. De Gea’s proven track record and remarkable reflexes have garnered him quite a fan following, making him a desirable addition to any team.
Apart from Bayern Munich, there’s also interest coming from two Saudi Arabian clubs. It’s clear that De Gea’s talents have captured the attention of football clubs beyond Europe as well. However, the question remains whether De Gea prefers to continue his journey in European football or explore new horizons in the Middle East.
Here’s the kicker – in order to attract more offers from other top European clubs, De Gea may need to reconsider his weekly wage demands. While he undoubtedly brings exceptional skills to the pitch, the financial aspect can play a significant role in the decision-making process for many clubs.
