David de Gea has been linked with a return to Spain if his contract is not extended beyond this season at Manchester United.
With only a few months left on his current contract with the option of a further year, the goalkeeper’s future is currently the subject of much speculation.
De Gea joined the club more than 10 years ago and has been Man United’s number one since his arrival.
Fans will remember his standout performances after finding his feet a couple of seasons after his move to England.
However, in recent years his form has greatly declined and Red Devils fans want a revamped goalkeeping unit.
Dean Henderson claimed the gloves a couple of seasons ago but was unable to displace the Spaniard in the long run.
After Erik ten Hag recently admitted that no decision has been made about the goalkeeper’s future, the 31-year-old appears to have taken matters into his own hands.
Although he recently said he wants to stay at the club for a long time, he seems to be planning a return to Spain.
According to Sport Witness, intermediaries are offering De Gea to the “leading and richest clubs” in LaLiga before next summer.
The outlet reports that British media claim the club is trying to find a new goalkeeper, leaving De Gea high and dry and ready to look for a new club.
De Gea arrived from Atlético de Madrid in 2011 following an agreement between the goalkeeper and Sir Alex Ferguson.
A return to Atlético de Madrid seems logical with the linking of Jan Oblak with a move to United.
However, they are unlikely to be the only club in De Gea’s mix to assess their options from January.
Sport Witness concludes by mentioning that other clubs such as Sevilla have also been contacted.
Betis are also an option, as they could also see their goalkeepers leave next summer.
However, with United’s number 1’s current salary demands unattainable for the Spanish club, a move seems unlikely.
