Fiorentina is reportedly set to activate the one-year extension clause in goalkeeper David De Gea’s contract amidst rumors of a potential return to Manchester United.
De Gea was released by United in 2023 to make way for Andre Onana, who arrived from Inter in a £47m deal. However, De Gea joined Fiorentina last year and has been in impressive form with ten clean sheets in Serie A.
Onana has struggled to perform consistently for Fiorentina, leading to speculation that United may look to bring De Gea back to the club. Fiorentina has the option to extend De Gea’s contract by another year, and reports suggest they are planning to do so soon.
Fiorentina is impressed with De Gea’s impact both on and off the field and is determined to keep hold of the experienced goalkeeper. President Rocco Commisso has expressed his desire to retain players like De Gea for the upcoming season.
Onana, on the other hand, is expected to fight for his place at United and resist any attempts to sell him this summer.
