David De Gea Contemplates Future as Contract Nears End
David De Gea has spent his time post-summer window and the expiration of his contract with Manchester United engaging in activities like paddleboarding, working out, dining with friends, managing his esports team, and watching matches of the Manchester United women's team. Having earned a substantial fortune at Manchester United, with a weekly wage of £375,000 from 2019 to 2023, De Gea has taken his time evaluating his options, especially after getting married to his fiancée Edurne this summer.
Throughout the summer transfer window, De Gea received numerous offers and inquiries from top European leagues as well as several mid-table teams. However, no agreements were reached, and he was not willing to compromise on his value to join clubs he had not previously considered.
There were rumors linking him to Inter Milan, but replacing the current goalkeeper, Samir Handanović, did not appeal to De Gea.
De Gea seems relaxed about his future, partially due to enjoying this time away from professional football. Making his debut for Atletico Madrid in 2009, he spent 12 years at Manchester United under intense scrutiny. This step back allows him to take a break for the first time.
For Manchester United, De Gea's departure is undoubtedly a significant loss. His experience and skill have been crucial for the team, and he has been one of the leaders. The team needs to find a suitable goalkeeper to fill the void and ensure defensive stability. Overall, the unexpected news of De Gea leaving Manchester United on a free transfer reflects underlying issues in his relationship with the club. Manchester United faces the challenge of finding a suitable replacement while hoping that De Gea continues to find success with his new team.
