Former Man Utd star David de Gea ‘in talks’ with Serie A side and could reject interest from Saudi Arabia, Spain and MLS
DAVID DE GEA is allegedly in talks with a Serie A club and could rejects transfer offers from Saudi Arabia and USA.
The Spanish goalie, 33, was part of the last title-winning Manchester United squad but has been without a club for over a year.

De Gea exited Old Trafford as a free agent last summer after 12 years at the club – even though he won the Premier League Golden Glove in his final term.
The Red Devils infamously released the star on his wedding day in June.
De Gea has remained living in Manchester and was previously spotted watching United’s women play.
And he has stayed in shape by training alone, teasing a return by issuing a three-word update on his future back in April.
That footage was shot at his local non-league side Altrincham and he has since dropped another hint he could be set to seal a free transfer somewhere by posting an hourglass emoji on X.
The keeper has been linked with various Premier League clubs, such as Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
And he has also been “presented with several options, including offers from Saudi Arabia, the United States and Italy,” according to The Athletic.
And it is the latter that they state could be on the verge of happening.
