Reports have surfaced that former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is currently in talks to join Saudi Pro League team Al-Shabab. De Gea has been a free agent since his departure from United last summer and has yet to find a new club during the January transfer window. The 33-year-old was previously linked to a potential move to Newcastle United, but it seems that his best opportunity to return to the pitch lies with Al-Shabab.
According to MailOnline, De Gea is now negotiating a deal with the Saudi side, who currently sit 11th in the league table with just four points above the relegation zone. The team already has former Atletico Madrid player Yannick Carrasco on their roster. This potential move would provide De Gea with a new opportunity to showcase his talents.
In December, former Newcastle United player and all-time record goalscorer Alan Shearer expressed his belief that De Gea would be a valuable addition to his former team's lineup. Shearer stated on BBC Radio 5 Live that a goalkeeper and a center forward should be the top priorities for the club. However, he acknowledged the challenge of finding a quality center forward at a reasonable cost. When asked if he would sign De Gea for Newcastle, Shearer confidently replied, "Yeah, I would."
It is clear that De Gea's skills and experience are highly sought after, and joining Al-Shabab would provide him with a new opportunity to contribute to a team's success. With his impressive career in the Premier League, it's no surprise that top clubs are interested in securing his talents. As the transfer window continues, it will be interesting to see where De Gea ultimately decides to play next.
