David de Gea has been a free agent since the summer. There is still talk about his future. There are several possibilities in play, but we can obviously rule out one. According to foreign media, the Spanish goalkeeper has turned down a huge sum of money.

He is 33 years old, and last season he was still the number one for Manchester United, for whom he had played since the summer of 2011. He is a legend at Old Trafford. But he has been a free agent since the summer and a new deal is nowhere in sight.

Until recently, some Red Devils fans wanted David De Gea to return as they were not happy with the performances of Andre Onana. After all, they were not alone. His demise surprised even the legendary Peter Schmeichel, who would certainly not be against the Spaniard returning to the team.

But that is not likely to happen. Several clubs from all over the world are seeking the services of the great goalkeeper. One of them is Al-Nassr, where the famous Cristiano Ronaldo plays.

De Gea has already played with Ronaldo at Manchester United. It would be the second time he would meet him in the same team. But according to The Sun, that is not an option. In fact, the goalkeeper is consulting with his wife about his future and Saudi Arabia does not attract them.

Not even for big money. Al-Nassr offered the Spanish goalkeeper a salary of £500,000 a week.

Will David de Gea play with Messi?

Instead of Saudi Arabia, there are other options. One of them could be Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi is based. Overall, David de Gea would play with several legends. Spanish-speaking ones at that.

Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba are also in Florida. But there is also the possibility that the former Manchester United goalkeeper could return to his homeland. There is speculation about a possible return to Atlético Madrid, where he would have to compete for the number one spot with Jan Oblak.

But apart from that, Valencia and Real Betis are also interested in de Gea. However, the rules of La Liga regarding salary caps speak against the Spanish clubs.
