David De Gea’s potential move to Al Ettifaq: A Fresh chapter in his career
Having been without a job since his contract ended at Manchester United, the Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea has now secured a fresh opportunity. Saudi Arabia, emerging as the new focal point in global football, is eager to rejuvenate his career.
It appears that David De Gea might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Despite being the standout goalkeeper in the Premier League last season with an impressive 18 clean sheets, the Spanish shot-stopper wasn’t offered an extension by Manchester United.
To compound matters, they brought in André Onana, a finalist in the recent Champions League with Inter Milan, to take his place.
Consequently, since June 30 of the previous year, the player who spent 13 years in the colors of the Red Devils has had to bid farewell.
While numerous speculations hinted at a move to Saudi Arabia, particularly with Al Nassr alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, the deal never materialized. However, the Saudi Pro League is not giving up.
On November 27, 2023, a new revelation circulated in the sports media concerning the Spanish goalkeeper.
As reported by The Sun, Al Ettifaq is eager to secure the services of the 33-year-old player.
Steven Gerard, the coach of this team, aims to make him their number one goalkeeper.
The only hitch lies in De Gea’s salary demands. The unfolding of this situation remains to be seen.
