Man United Sign De Gea, Rodrygo

As of August 20, 2025, there has been no official confirmation that David de Gea has returned to Manchester United as a free agent. Still, speculation continues. Reports suggest Manchester United are monitoring the 34-year-old former goalkeeper, who currently plays for Fiorentina after moving there on a free transfer in August 2024.

The club has already announced that they will pay tribute to De Gea during a pre-season clash with Fiorentina at Old Trafford on August 23, 2025. This will mark his first appearance at the stadium since his departure.

Although supporters and media outlets are pushing for his comeback—especially given doubts over the current goalkeeping options—Manchester United have yet to submit an official offer, and he remains tied to Fiorentina until 2028.

David de Gea’s Situation and Possible Return

De Gea departed Manchester United in July 2023 when his deal expired, closing a 12-year stay.

He spent a full year without a team before signing with Fiorentina in August 2024.

His contract with Fiorentina now runs until 2028.

Despite this, Manchester United are said to have made quiet approaches to Fiorentina and are watching developments, with a modest release clause possibly allowing a transfer.

The club has confirmed a pre-match ceremony to celebrate De Gea’s service at Old Trafford before their August 23, 2025 friendly against Fiorentina.

Other Transfer Speculation

Claims that Manchester United offered a 23-year-old footballer to Crystal Palace are not supported by the available details.

Talk of Rodrygo moving to Manchester City has not been verified; he is only mentioned as a possible option for City if Savinho signs with Tottenham, which remains uncertain.

Suggestions that Sir Jim Ratcliffe released £300 million for three late transfer signings, or that Ruben Amorim completed three end-of-window deals, are not included in the available reports and cannot be confirmed.
