In the summer of 2015, Manchester United and Real Madrid had reached an agreement for the transfer of the Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea, but a delay in sending documents by fax prevented the operation from being carried out. The former Atlético de Madrid stayed in Old Trafford until 2023, before crossing a parenthesis without a club, then bounced back to La Fiorentina, where he found his best level.
Ten years later, the 34 -year -old goalkeeper remembered this incident in an exclusive interview with Italian media Cronache di spogliatoio. Bitterness persists. “At the end of my career, I will talk about what happened that day, He assured before putting things into perspective. Finally, it was not done, and I think that when some things happen, it is for a reason: I stayed in Manchester and I was very happy. It's my house, and I think everything ended well as well. Courtois went there, and he had found his place in Atlético precisely thanks to my departure. He has succeeded very well, and I am happy for him. ”
