OFFICIAL. David De Gea is returning to football

Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea is returning to football after a one-year hiatus. He has been officially presented as a player for Fiorentina.

It was previously reported that he will sign a one-year contract with an option for an additional season and has already completed his medical examination. A press conference featuring the goalkeeper will be held on Monday, August 12.

It was previously reported that De Gea was negotiating with Genoa and was willing to continue his career with the club. However, the parties ultimately failed to reach an agreement on salary.

De Gea has been a free agent since the summer of 2023, when he left Manchester United after a 12-year tenure with the Red Devils.

Last season, Fiorentina finished eighth in Serie A and reached the final of the Conference League, where they were defeated by Olympiacos.
