De Gea Takes Pay Cut, Finds New Club



 David de Gea, the former goalkeeper of Manchester United, is in the concluding stages of securing a new club as he approaches a transfer to Fiorentina.

According to numerous reports, De Gea, who has been a free agent for more than a year, is expected to join Serie A team Fiorentina this summer. 

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the custodian has purportedly reached a personal agreement with the Italian club, as he has significantly reduced his salary demand. He is expected to earn €2 million (£1.6m/$2m) per season.

The 33-year-old was previously associated with a transfer to Genoa, another Serie A club; however, the agreement was reportedly terminated due to his "unrealistic salary expectations." 

Additionally, numerous Saudi Pro League and MLS clubs expressed interest in signing him this summer; however, none of the agreements were executed.

The Premier League champions acquired the veteran custodian from Atletico Madrid in 2011, and he subsequently appeared in 545 matches for the club.

 United secured the Premier League, the FA Cup, two Carabao Cups, and a Europa League Championship during his tenure.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Spaniard is anticipated to arrive in Florence on Friday before formally concluding his relocation to Italy. He will execute a one-year contract with the potential to extend it for twelve months.
