It turns out…”Loyalty to Man U ruled out transfer”
Invincible David de Gea has rejected interest from Premier League (PL) clubs because of his loyalty to Manchester United.
“De Gea has already ruled out one move because of his loyalty to the Red Devils,” the UK’s Sports Bible reported on March 23.
De Gea was once considered a world-class goalkeeper. He made his debut for Atletico Madrid in the 2009-10 season and quickly became the first-choice goalkeeper. He made 35 appearances in his debut professional season, helping the club win the UEFA Europa League (UEL).
Several big clubs began to show interest in De Gea. The most active was Manchester United. At the time, the Red Devils were in need of a goalkeeper following the retirement of Edwin van der Sar. De Gea joined United ahead of the 2011-12 season.
He needed time to settle in at first, but he soon showed his quality. His long arms and reflexes kept him in the United goal. De Gea went on to make 545 appearances in a United shirt over 12 years. He won a PL title, a Golden Glove, and more.
De Gea’s position at United was shaken by the arrival of Eric ten Haag in the 2022-23 season. The Dutchman wanted a goalkeeper with good feet as he emphasized building up from the back, but at the same time, De Gea’s physicality was declining and 안전놀이터 his performances were disappointing.
United opted not to re-sign De Gea ahead of last season, signing Andre Onana. De Gea became a free agent and looked elsewhere. Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid were all interested in him, but none of them made offers.
Last winter’s transfer window saw rumors of De Gea joining Real Betis, but they quickly died down. In the end, De Gea spent a year without a club. Some speculated that he might even retire.
Recently, De Gea posted an hourglass emoji on social media, hinting at a return. “De Gea has received offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Italy,” according to Sports Bible.
That wasn’t the end of it. According to the outlet, De Gea also received interest from a club in England. However, he ruled out playing in England because of his loyalty to United. “An update on De Gea’s future is expected next week,” Sports Bible added.
