At the dawn of a summer which promises to be agitated on the transfer market, AS Monaco could strike a very big blow. The princely club, qualified for the next Champions League, wishes to strengthen in several key positions. And according to the latest indiscretions from Italy and France, an impressive CV goalkeeper is a good place on the tablets of the Monegasque recruitment cell.
This is David de Gea. The former Manchester United porter, relaunched this season at La Fiorentina, has found a level that attracts lusts. The Spaniard has chained high -flying performances in Serie A, ending its first Italian season with 11 clean Sheets and several world class performances, including a spectacular match against AC Milan where it stopped two penalties. What convince the leaders of Monaco to bet on him to solidify their last rampart.
Monaco wants to strike hard with Gea
For several months, ASM has struggled to stabilize its goalkeeper post. Philipp Köhn and Radoslaw Majecki shared the playing time with almost equal parts (23 games each), without any managing to establish himself as a reference. The arrival of a confirmed goalkeeper such as Gea could end this uncertain rotation and finally bring serenity behind.
From Gea to Monaco? Contacts are real
Problem: Fiorentina has not said its last word. The Florentin club wishes to extend its goalkeeper until 2028, after a more than successful first season. De Gea, whose current lease expires this summer but which has an option for an additional year, has not yet decided. The temptation to return to the Champions League, which Monaco offers him, could weigh in the scale.
With the arrival of Eric Dier already acted, Monaco continues to build an ambitious team to shine on the European scene. The possible recruitment of David de Gea is part of this desire to raise the level of experience and leadership. It remains to be seen whether the rock will seduce a porter who has already won everything … or almost.
