David De Gea is unlikely to return to Manchester United.
Nicolos Skira, a leading Italian journalist, said on his personal SNS on the 7th (Korea time) 'De Gea plans to extend his contract with Fiorentina. Fiorentina considers Daeha a key player. 'There is already an option to extend it until 2026, but the club and the player have a new contract until 2027 and are negotiating an option to extend it until 2028,' the report said.
De Gea recently mentioned the possibility of returning to Manchester United. Some Spanish media outlets reported that `Manchester United are considering recruiting David De Gea'`Manchester United's biggest problem was the goalkeeper. The gamble on Andre Onana was unsuccessful. Onana was criticized for many mistakes during his two seasons at United. He scored 137 runs in 92 games and also scored 12 mistakes. On the other hand, De Gea's record is still vivid in Manchester United. Manchester United are seriously considering his return.

It's an unconventional attempt. De Gea, who has been with Manchester United for as many as 12 years since 2011, left the team after his contract with Manchester United expired at the end of the 2022-2023 season. Originally, the contract was expected to be renewed, but the recruitment of Andre Onana, a replacement, was imminent and he eventually had to say goodbye to the team. Manchester United fans unfortunately let De Gea go, who was reborn as one of the club's legends.
De Gea, who was expected to find the nest immediately after leaving Manchester United, was not easy to find his team even though he won the Golden Glove in the English Premier League for his excellent defense despite his unstable passing ability in the 2022-2023 season. It took quite a while to find a new team. He waited for a season with a break, and he signed Fiorentina ahead of this season and succeeded in returning. At Fiorentina, De Gea showed his ability to defend his best days and became the main goalkeeper. With De Gea's performance, Fiorentina ranked fifth in the losing list with 30 goals in 30 games.

On the other hand, Manchester United, which sent De Gea out, lost 41 goals in 30 league games this season with Onana's disappointing performance. Onana is not solely responsible for the loss, but it is also true that Onana's good defense ability is regrettable compared to her predecessor De Gea.
Manchester United, which was considering several candidates, including Mike Meanyan, as a goalkeeper candidate to replace Onana, even considered re-entry of De Gea. De Gea, however, appears to have virtually dismissed the possibility of returning to Manchester United, entering negotiations with Fiorentina to extend his contract. The reunion between De Gea and Manchester United, which drew attention, will be difficult to achieve.
