De Gea spent 12 years at Manchester United, where he became a crucial figure and fan favorite.

Recent reports from transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano indicate that De Gea is close to finalizing a move to Fiorentina. The agreement comes after negotiations with Genoa fell through, reportedly due to De Gea’s salary demands. Fiorentina, who have competed in the last two UEFA Conference League finals, offer De Gea a new challenge and the opportunity to continue his career at a high level.
Looking Forward
De Gea’s move to Fiorentina represents a fresh start for the Spanish goalkeeper. He will be eager to revive his career and contribute to the team’s success. Additionally, De Gea may look to reestablish himself in Spain’s international setup under Luis de la Fuente, who previously managed him at youth level.
