De Gea open to accept offer to replace Man City goalkeeper

De Gea has been without a club since leaving the Red Devils as a free agent last summer. The 33-year-old departed Man Utd as a legend of the club having won four Player of the Year awards at Old Trafford.

However, manager Erik ten Hag elected to sign Andre Onana who he believed would better suit his system thanks to his superior ability on the ball.

 

Despite links to Saudi Arabia as well as clubs in England and Spain, the 2023/24 season will come and go without De Gea playing a game.

Real Betis currently choose between Rui Silva and former Man City stopper Claudio Bravo when selecting their starter between the sticks.

Bravo, now 41, has endured an injury-hit campaign, though has bounced back in Spain following his disappointing spell in England.

The Chilean was among Pep Guardiola’s first signings at City and lasted just one error-strewn season as the No 1 before being replaced by Ederson. Bravo would remain on the bench at City for three years before returning to LaLiga with Real Betis in 2020.

Regarding the player’s stance on such a move, it’s noted De Gea as well as his family are look favourably on signing with a Spanish side.

Furthermore, it’s also suggested De Gea may finally be willing to lower his salary demands. The report concluded De Gea’s wages are a key factor in why he never found a club in the current season.
