WHERE HAPPENED?
Based on many sources, ex-Red Devils star De Gea—who has stayed a free agent for more than a year—is all set to join Serie A team Fiorentina this summer. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the custodian allegedly struck personal terms with the Italian club because he drastically lowered his pay demand and is scheduled to earn €2 million (£1.6m/$2m) year.
The larger picture.
Earlier connected with a transfer to another Serie A team Genoa, the 33-year-old reportedly lost the agreement because of his ‘unrealistic pay demands’. Although other Saudi Pro League and MLS teams were also eager to sign this summer, none of the transactions came to pass.
Were you aware?
Originally from Atletico Madrid, the experienced custodian joined United in 2011 and went on to make 545 appearances for the Premier League behemoths, winning the FA Cup, two Carabao Cups, and a Europa League championship.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Spaniard is supposed to arrive Florence Friday before officially making his trip to Italy. He will sign a one-year agreement with an option to stretch it for another twelve months.
