Since departing from Manchester United earlier this year, David de Gea is on the verge of making a comeback to competitive football.
Two Spanish clubs are considering options regarding David de Gea, the former goalkeeper of Manchester United.
During the summer transfer window, numerous clubs vied for the services of the 32-year-old Spanish goalkeeper.
Teams from the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer showed strong interest in acquiring him.
However, De Gea turned down these offers, favoring a return to Spain. Possibilities are now emerging from his home country, with Real Betis and Valencia expressing interest in the free agent.
Having parted ways with Manchester United in June, the seasoned goalkeeper has remained without a club, maintaining his fitness through personal training sessions.
De Gea, who spent 12 years at Old Trafford, faced a decline in performance during the last two seasons.
This decline prompted Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, to secure Andre Onana from Inter Milan as his replacement.
Assessing his options, Real Betis seems to be a more suitable fit for De Gea.
The Seville-based club is currently dealing with a crisis due to an injury to their regular goalkeeper, Rui Silva, and the return of Claudio Bravo, aged 40, after an extended absence. Consequently, the former Manchester United star could provide a more reliable solution.
Conversely, at Valencia, the 32-year-old would face tough competition from the young Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and may not have a guaranteed starting role every week.
De Gea’s potential return to Spain has attracted significant attention, and his next footballing destination remains uncertain.
