Fiorentina take on Manchester United at Old Trafford: De Gea to stay?

The news itself is one of those that enrich the summer of a club. Next August 9th the Fiorentina will challenge the Manchester United in the prestigious Old Trafford theatre and within the Snapdragon Cup. Not a random opponent, which has turned on a light bulb for many. Is it possible that the Viola will show up in Manchester without De Gea? There's more. The press release issued yesterday by the lily club is accompanied by a photo of the Spanish goalkeeper.

Coincidence? Many have read it as an implicit confirmation in view of next year. De Gea with Fiorentina has formally the contract expiring in June, but in recent weeks there have been ample reassurances that David will be able to continue on the banks of the Arno next season. Fiorentina is therefore ready to extend his contract until June 2026, doubling his salary as agreed and bringing it to just under 2,5 million euros per season. The impression is that the parties may talk to each other to extend the marriage, even if De Gea has never spoken about the future and is waiting to understand the club's future plans.

We'll see, in the meantime De Gea has returned to Spain to challenge Betis Sevilla tonight. As a Madrid native, he has already conquered the Benito Villamarin when he was defending the goal of Manchester United. It was the round of 22 of the Europa League edition '23/'0 and the English won 1-XNUMX. Fiorentina is also holding on to its international experience to return to Florence with a positive result.
