David De Gea, who played with Park Ji-sung, proved his skills by winning a three-year contract even at a not-so-old age.
Fiorentina announced on its official website on the 31st (Korea Standard Time) that it is pleased to announce that Fiorentina has extended its contract with De Gea until June 2028.
De Gea, who started his Manchester United career with Park Ji-sung by moving to Manchester United at the call of head coach Alex Ferguson in 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.
But there was no absence at all from De Gea's fingertips. At Fiorentina, De Gea showed his ability to defend his best days and became the main goalkeeper. This season, De Gea started 42 games and recorded a clean sheet in 11 league games. With De Gea's performance, Fiorentina tied for sixth place in the losing list with 41 runs in 38 games.

Along with his performance, clubs who wanted De Gea also appeared. There was even news that Juventus, a prestigious Serie A team, and Manchester United, a former team, could target De Gea. Italian media reported that `Juventus is not the worst, but the club wants an experienced goalkeeper for the future. One of the potential candidates is Deheada'
The British media also reported that `Manchester United is seriously considering De Gea's return.' De Gea, however, renewed his contract with Fiorentina and decided to devote three more years to the club that helped him return.
De Gea, whose heyday seemed to be over, is burning like a flame again. It seems clear that his good defense is still the best in Europe.
