He was one of Sir Alex’s last big signings, winning United’s last title 12 years ago, EL and numerous domestic cups, then losing his place in the team with the arrival of Eric ten Haag. He left “Old Trafford”, he didn’t even defend for the last year, I was training, without a club.
Various options were mentioned, but his financial demands were said to be too great.
In the end, De Gea embarks on probably the last chapter of his career in Italy.
He agreed with Fiorentina, the Spaniard will sign a one-year contract worth only about one million euros, and if he is satisfied, an extension will follow next season, for another two million.
“Purple” secured themselves, although it is a big name of European football, no one is sure what to expect from the Spaniard after a long break. The first goalkeeper last season was the veteran Teraćano, but the new coach Raffaele Palladino is looking for a bigger name, a more experienced goalkeeper in big matches. Teraccano will most likely leave, and De Gea will be joined by the young Tommaso Martinelli, who defended for all the younger Italian teams.
Fiorentina brought Kean from Juventus, Croatian stopper Pongracic arrived from Leće, as well as another defender, Argentine Valentini from Boca. The goal is to find a replacement for Milenkovic, Nico Gonzalez, who is wanted by Atalanta and Juve, could also leave by the end of the transfer window.
Palladino has warmed up for Gudmundsson from Genoa, and the next signing is almost certainly young Moroccan Amir Richardson. The Reims footballer just won the Olympic bronze with the national team, in the next few days I will sign a contract with Fiorentina, the compensation is 10 million euros.
At the start, the Tuscans visit the “Enio Tardini” against the returnees of Parma, before that tomorrow they have a dress rehearsal against Bundesliga side Freiburg.
