Where is De Gea’s headed after Utd’s exit?

David de Gea is searching for his next team after leaving Manchester United after 12 years,

The Spanish custodian left Old Trafford after his deal with the Red Devils expired, and Inter Milan custodian Andre Onana was ready to assume the No. 1 jersey.

Let’s take a guess at the players possible destinations.

Saudi Pro League

High-profile stars continue to flock to the Saudi Pro League and it would be no surprise to see De Gea become the latest to join the revolution.

The likes of Al-Hilal, Al-Ahli, Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr — all of whom are part-owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund — are able to blow European sides out of the water in terms of wages.

The ex-United custodian may feel a switch to the Gulf State is his final chance for a big payday.

Should he opt to stay in European football, a spot as Inter’s new No1 is poised to open up thanks to Onana — the man who is set to replace him at the Theatre of Dreams.

For all of the unconvincing moments with his feet in the final years at United, De Gea still boasted a reputation as one of England’s finest shot-stoppers and Serie A football may suit his style better.

Given the Nerazzurri are set to bank a hefty fee from the Onana sale, landing the former Premier League winner for free could prove a shrewd bit of business.

Return to Spain

An emotional return to Spain would undoubtedly appeal, though a move back to Atletico Madrid seems off the cards with Jan Oblak still their undisputed first choice between the sticks.

Villarreal might prove an attractive alternative in LaLiga, with veteran stopper Pepe Reina, 40, close to retirement. 

Valencia and Sevilla could also be in the lookout for a new keeper should respective No1s Giorgi Mamardashvili and Yassine Bounou get snapped up this summer.
