David de Gea is one of the most iconic names in football. He spent 12 years with Manchester United, appearing in 545 games and keeping a record 190 clean sheets, before leaving the club at the end of last season.
Since then, the 33-year-old has been a free agent, and has received and turned down numerous offers from clubs such as Inter Milan and the Saudi Pro League.
Now, reports suggest that David Beckham is offering the Spaniard the chance to join his Inter Miami side. Beckham has already signed eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi, and is now looking to add De Gea to the mix.
Interestingly, De Gea would prefer to return to La Liga, but is unconvinced by the only clubs interested - Real Betis and Valencia. This is partly due to the fact that they would be unable to offer anything near to the £350,000-a-week contract he had with Manchester United.
Beckham is said to be 'quietly optimistic' that he can get the deal done, as time is on his side with the MLS season not set to start until February or March 2024. He also hopes that De Gea will be enticed by the prospect of playing alongside his former Spain teammates Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets at Inter Miami.
It will be interesting to see if De Gea decides to accept Beckham's offer, or if he will wait for an opportunity closer to home. Either way, it's clear that the former United keeper still has plenty of suitors, despite his age.
