A few hours after the terrible injury of Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid would be close to completing the arrival of David De Gea, free of any contract.
A free player to compensate for the long absence of Thibaut Courtois? Real Madrid were quick to activate after the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee, Thursday, of their essential Belgian goalkeeper. It is David De Gea who could well be hired in the next few hours, he who has not found a buyer since leaving Manchester United.
At 32, after 12 contrasting seasons with the Red Devils, the goalkeeper did not fly to Saudi Arabia as expected a few weeks ago. The Spanish international, who withdrew from the Seleccion after being dismissed for Euro 2021 (he was one of the 24 players initially called up), would thus make his return to La Liga.
According to Marca, he is the number 1 lead and negotiations have already started with his agents. Obviously, the Merengues do not want to spend a lot of money, while Hugo Lloris and Keylor Navas have also been cited by the Spanish media. Yassine Bounou (Sevilla) would be deemed too expensive…
A native of the Spanish capital, De Gea was trained at Atlético and revealed himself during the 2009-2010 season, before being recruited for 25 million euros a year later by Sir Alex Ferguson, to succeed to Edwin van der Sar.
