The legendary De Gea has flown to Italy for a medical check-up at his new club

It seems that we will soon see the legendary goalkeeper David De Gea return to top-level football.

According to Alfredo Pedullà, the 33-year-old Spaniard arrived in Florence today to undergo a medical examination and sign a contract.

As expected, De Gea's deal with Fiorentina will be for one year, with an option to extend for an additional season.

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.
