According to the British press, goalkeeper David De Gea is finally about to return to football since leaving MU.
The Sun newspaper reported that Saudi Arabia's football teams are interested in recruiting goalkeeper De Gea. Among these, Al Ettifaq is emerging as the team leading the race to win the signature of the former MU star . Al Ettifaq is currently led by coach Steven Gerrard and has midfielder Jordan Henderson in the squad.
De Gea is finally about to find a new destination?
De Gea still has not had a new home since he left MU in the summer after 12 years with the Old Trafford team . As a free agent, De Gea can join any club without having to wait until the January transfer window.
Previously, De Gea used to earn up to 375,000 pounds/week at MU. If he agrees to go to Saudi Arabia to play football, the 33-year-old goalkeeper is expected to receive a higher salary than that. This oil-rich country has not hesitated to spend heavily to bring famous players to play in the Saudi Pro League in recent transfer periods.
However, that may not be the only option for De Gea. Previously, Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr and Lionel Messi's Inter Miami both spoke of wanting the services of the Spanish goalkeeper.
The former MU star will likely receive a few more offers when the January transfer window arrives and can return to the field in the near future.
