Former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, 33, is reportedly attracting interest from Barcelona.
“De Gea is on Barcelona’s radar to strengthen the goalkeeping position,” Mundo Deportivo reported on Monday (Aug. 28).
“Barcelona are considering a move for the former Man United goalkeeper, who is a free agent. They believe it would be cost-effective.”
De Gea, who played for United for 12 years, became a free agent on June 30 last year.
De Gea won the Golden Glove last season after keeping 17 clean sheets in the English Premier League. With United manager Eric ten Haag (53) favoring younger, 바카라사이트 more promising goalkeepers, De Gea was forced to seek employment elsewhere.
After leaving United, De Gea received interest from the Saudi Arabian league, but he didn’t like it.
Last month, Team Talk reported that “De Gea is in talks with a Saudi club. Several European clubs are also interested in the player, but the wealth and prestige offered by the Saudi clubs will be hard for De Gea to resist.”
However, this did not materialize.
De Gea expressed his desire to play for a big club outside of the Saudi league.
Before he knew it, he had been unemployed for more than eight months.

“He’s into padel, a Mexican game similar to squash,” The Sun reported. It’s also similar to tennis. It’s a racket sport that originated in Mexico in 1960 and has since become popular in Europe and the U.S., especially in Spain.
“He is enjoying his time away from the spotlight. He’s even been known to consider retirement.”
Amidst all this, reports have surfaced that De Gea is being watched by ‘big club’ Barcelona.
According to Mundo Deportivo, “Barcelona have been closely monitoring De Gea’s situation. “With financial restrictions, Barcelona are playing the 토토사이트 추천 ‘free’ signing card,” said Mundo Deportivo. “If a deal does go through, De Gea is expected to play a backup role to Barcelona’s first-choice goalkeeper Marc-Angreter Stegen.
