De Gea agreed to take a big salary cut to stay in the team, and Manchester United offered a lower salary contract!
Football media outlet The Athletic reported that Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has an uncertain future, and his £375,000-a-week contract expires at the end of this month, and the two sides have not completed the renewal. Heading into July, David De Gea will be a free agent.
It is reported that David De Gea has previously agreed to a salary reduction contract offered by Manchester United and has signed it, but then Manchester United reversed, withdrew the contract, and offered a new contract with a lower salary, and the two sides are still negotiating, and David De Gea has not signed for the time being. Saudi Arabia's side are rumored to be interested in recruiting David De Gea.
David De Gea, 32, whose current contract with Manchester United expires on 30 June this year, will earn up to £375,000 a week. "The Athletic" revealed that Manchester United had already issued a contract to David De Gea, and the weekly salary was significantly lower than the current one, and David De Gea also agreed and signed, but Manchester United repented, did not sign and withdrew the original conditions.
Manchester United have recently offered David De Gea a new contract with a lower salary, casting doubt on the Spanish goalkeeper's future. He has not yet agreed to sign the contract for worse treatment. Moreover, facing the beckoning of the Saudi league, David De Gea is thinking about the future. In addition, the British "Daily Mail" understands that David De Gea has agreed to the original salary reduction contract for a period of time, but his performance last season failed to convince Eric Tenhach to continue as the team's chief goalkeeper, and Eric Ten Hach is interested in finding a new starting goalkeeper.
David De Gea's team are still in talks with Manchester United, and the impasse is not far from the end of his contract. David De Gea is reportedly looking to maintain a steady playing opportunity in the league at the top level, but Eric Tenhach is always looking for a new goalkeeper and if a new recruit such as Inter's Andre Onana is signed, David De Gea's playing time next season is sure to be significantly reduced. Eric Tenhach has made it clear earlier that David De Gea will not be 100% guaranteed to have a starter and will need to face competition.
The Daily Mail said United were looking into bringing in Inter's Andre Onana and met with the opposing team's agent last week to explore the possibility of a transfer. Andre Onana, 27, Inter's chief goalkeeper who helped the team win Champions League runners-up, previously played for Eric Tenhach's Ajax. Andre Onana is reportedly Erik Tenhach's best choice to replace David De Gea, but United could have to offer a transfer fee of more than €50 million if Inter were to release him.
