When his contract with Manchester United expired last month, the 32-year-old terminated his 12-year tenure at Old Trafford.
De Gea’s form frequently suffered during his latter years at the club, and Erik ten Hag needed a more contemporary custodian to match his standards and playing philosophy. It arrived at the perfect time for all sides.
Fans were disappointed that he had not had a fitting send-off at the stadium, especially in light of all of his work during the previous ten years as a Red. De Gea’s departure signaled the end of an illustrious period because he was the final player still playing with Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Spaniard is currently a free agent and looking for a new business that would be a good fit for his abilities. As Andre Onana took over his position with the Red Devils, it was reported last week that he had discussions with Inter Milan about taking over. However, a deal fell through because of his salary expectations, which were higher than what the Serie A team could provide.
De Gea is a Bayern candidate.
The current Bundesliga champions, according to BILD, are interested in De Gea. The veteran Manuel Neuer will play fewer games than usual since Thomas Tuchel is searching the market for a shot-stopper to serve as his backup.
Former coach Julian Nagelsmann previously pledged that there would be equal rotation between the sticks, but Tuchel has since entered the picture and made it obvious that the Germany captain will be filling the post-full-time. The current number two, Yann Sommer, is attempting to navigate his exit from Bayern.
