Overview
- Italian reports on Tuesday said Fiorentina are ready to listen to offers for David de Gea as part of a wider squad and wage reshuffle led by new sporting director Fabio Paratici.
- Sources report that De Gea has made clear he would only consider leaving Fiorentina to return to Manchester United, a preference that has not resulted in any formal offer.
- The club's reported willingness to move De Gea is linked to Paratici's cost-cutting plan and the expected arrival of high-profile goalkeeping coach Claudio Filippi, which together could change Fiorentina's goalkeeping hierarchy.
- De Gea joined Fiorentina in August 2024 and agreed a contract extension in 2025; his strong early form in Italy was followed by a mixed 2025–26 season that has fuelled transfer talk.
- Manchester United have Senne Lammens as their apparent first-choice keeper and may need an experienced backup if Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir leave, making a De Gea reunion possible but unconfirmed.
