The agent of Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has reportedly offered him to his former club Atletico Madrid ahead of the summer.
De Gea is coming towards the end of his contract and will be a free agent in a few months’ time, and it seems his agent Jorge Mendes is looking to get his client a return to Spain, according to Todo Fichajes.
Red Devils fans will surely want to keep hold of this long-serving club legend, who remains an important player at Old Trafford, even if he’s ageing and has had his ups and downs in the last few years.
It could be that De Gea is weighing up his options now, and that a move back to Atletico, the club he left for Man Utd over a decade ago, would be the right fit for him as he looks to wind down his career.
If De Gea does leave, it won’t be easy for United to find a top class replacement, but one or two names have been linked with the club in recent times.
Fabrizio Romano has revealed in his exclusive CaughtOffside column that Porto ‘keeper Diogo Costa has been monitored by MUFC.
