Sources: David De Gea opens talks to join Saudi club in 'huge money' move after Man United exit

David De Gea is in talks to join a Saudi Arabian club following his Man United exit, sources have told Football Insider.

The Spanish international’s agent Jorge Mendez is currently working to get what will be a “huge money” deal over the finish line.

European clubs are also still interested in attaining the services of the goalkeeper on a free transfer.

But Saudi clubs are currently the sides that are pushing with an offer of much higher wages and that appears the most likely next move in the Spaniard’s career.

United confirmed on 8th July that De Gea has left the club after his contract expired following a 12-year tenure at the club.

Football Insider revealed on Friday (30 June) that United U-turned on De Gea’s contract as he didn’t have the full trust of manager Erik ten Hag.

Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana is in advanced talks to join United in a £50m transfer as he prepares to replace De Gea between the sticks at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag’s reservations come even after De Gea won Premier League’s Golden Glove award for the 2022-23 campaign after keeping 17 clean sheets in 38 games, conceding 43 goals in the process.

The former Spain international shot-stopper had been at United since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2011 – and has racked up 545 appearances for the club.

He won the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and two League Cups while at Old Trafford.
