Monaco eyes acquisition of Fiorentina's goalkeeper, David de Gea
Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea, following a successful resurgence at Fiorentina, finds himself in a crucial phase of his career. The "Florentines" are now actively pursuing efforts to retain the veteran shot-stopper beyond his current contract, which expires on June 30, 2025.
Fiorentina is reportedly keen on extending De Gea's deal until the summer of 2028, viewing his continued presence as a priority given his exceptional performances throughout the 2024-25 season. Discussions concerning a salary increase have also surfaced, with the current weekly wage of £35,800 potentially set for an upgrade.
However, Monaco has shown significant interest in securing De Gea's services. The Ligue 1 club admires his goalkeeping prowess and sees him as a potential remedy for their unsettled backline. A prospective move to Monaco could also bolster their chances in the Champions League, as they qualified for the competition, finishing third in their league. At present, negotiations between De Gea's entourage and Monaco are underway.
The news of David De Gea's potential move has created a buzz in the football community, with both Fiorentina and Monaco vying for his services ahead of the upcoming season.
