Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is drawing interest from various European clubs and the Saudi Pro League, particularly Al Shabab, a source has informed ESPN.
De Gea, who has been a free agent since departing Old Trafford last summer, has been approached by multiple clubs over the past seven months.
Despite rejecting an offer from the Saudi Pro League (SPL) in the summer, recent talks have taken place with Al Shabab.
The 33-year-old Spaniard left United after 12 years when a new contract couldn’t be agreed upon. United sought an arrangement involving a wage cut for De Gea after Erik ten Hag opted for André Onana as the new No. 1 goalkeeper.
Al-Shabab, currently 11th in the SPL standings, has displayed ambition by attempting to secure Jose Mourinho as their manager and signing Miguel Almirón from Newcastle United.
Although De Gea reportedly prefers to continue his career in Europe, he has not ruled out joining an SPL team.
Additionally, sources indicate that SPL clubs are expressing interest in Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira.
The Brazilian international, who moved from Manchester United to Fulham in 2022 for £10 million ($12.7 million), has impressed during his 18-month tenure at Craven Cottage.
Pereira, with a contract at Fulham until 2026, has garnered attention after registering four Premier League assists this season and six last term.
Fulham is expected to demand a substantial fee for the 28-year-old’s potential departure.
