Saudi Arabian clubs have set their sights on signing Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea this summer, despite the English club being reportedly close to extending his contract. The Spanish shot-stopper has been a mainstay at Old Trafford for over a decade, and his potential departure has sparked interest from clubs in the Middle East.
David de Gea’s current contract with Manchester United is set to expire in 2023, and negotiations for an extension have been ongoing. Although reports suggest that a verbal agreement has been reached between the player and the club, Saudi clubs are keen to sign the experienced goalkeeper.
The interest from Saudi clubs comes as no surprise, as the country has been investing heavily in its football infrastructure and attracting top talents from around the world. The prospect of signing a player like De Gea’s would undoubtedly bolster their ambitions of becoming a prominent force in the footballing world.
