Italian transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio on the 8th (Korea time) 'Negotiations between Fiorentina and goalkeeper De Gea are underway. 'Detailed talks are underway between the two sides and De Gea is expected to sign a provisional one-year contract that could be extended until next season,' the report said.
De Gea is a goalkeeper who is so good that he was once compared to Manuel Neuer. Gea moved to Manchester United at a young age, starting to emerge as the top goalkeeper in Spain's La Liga from Atletico Madrid. He was so serious about recruiting that former Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson persuaded him himself.
De Gea often made mistakes in the first season after moving to Manchester United as he failed to adapt to the English Premier League (EPL), but he began to be recognized as the best goalkeeper in the league from the second season. De Gea's greatest advantage was the fantastic defense from animal reflexes. It was a regret that Gea had for her foot skills and wide range of defense required of modern goalkeepers, but she was considered to be in the hands of the world for her good defense.

Along with Edwin van de Sarr, Manchester United became the club's best legendary goalkeeper in the 21st century, but Manchester United gave up renewing their contract with De Gea. De Gea had the highest salary in the EPL. As De Gea began to decline as the 2020-2021 season passed, Manchester United decided to let De Gea go. De Gea wasn't even the right goalkeeper for Erik ten Hag's football.
After breaking up with Manchester United, De Gea was a free agent (FA) player and connected with several clubs. Several EPL clubs, including Saudi Arabian clubs, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, also contacted De Gea, but no transfer was made in the end. De Gea took a full year off without signing any clubs.
There are even rumors that De Gea may retire as it is, but he seems to have found a new team. Di Margio explained 'De Gea is now ready to return to the stadium and Fiorentina is working to bring him to Serie A in Italy'
