De Gea’s Move to Fiorentina Confirmed
David De Gea is poised to join Fiorentina, having reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms for a one-year contract with an option for an additional year. The deal includes a €1 million annual salary plus bonuses, which could double his earnings to €2 million if the second year is activated.
A New Chapter in Serie A
After more than a year out of professional football following his departure from Manchester United in July 2023, De Gea is set to embark on a new chapter in Serie A. The Spanish goalkeeper, who turns 34 soon, is expected to undergo a medical examination in Florence before officially joining Fiorentina.
Career Highlights
De Gea began his career with Atletico Madrid, where he gained recognition before securing a high-profile move to Manchester United in 2011. Over the years, he became a key figure at Old Trafford, winning multiple titles, including:
- Premier League (2012-13)
- FA Cup (2015-16)
- Europa League (2016-17)
- Multiple Golden Glove Awards
His departure from United marked the end of an era, and his return to professional football with Fiorentina is highly anticipated.
Fiorentina’s Goalkeeping Situation
With De Gea’s imminent arrival, Fiorentina is expected to make adjustments to their goalkeeping lineup. Current first-choice keeper Pietro Terracciano is rumored to be on his way out, with potential moves to either Monza or Genoa. De Gea’s experience and shot-stopping abilities could bring much-needed stability to Fiorentina’s defensive setup.
What This Move Means for Fiorentina
Fiorentina will benefit from De Gea’s world-class reflexes, leadership, and vast experience at the highest levels of European football. His presence could significantly strengthen their squad as they aim for a strong season in Serie A and European competitions.
