Coldly discarded by Erik ten Hag during his tenure at Manchester United, David de Gea seems to have forged a path toward a new chapter with a potential new club.
Despite protracted contract negotiations spanning several months, no fresh deal materialized, as revealed by Sky Sports. This could be attributed, in part, to the SPaniard's staggering £375,000 weekly remuneration, as per Capology, positioning him amongst the club's highest-paid players.
On the other hand, United's newly acquired goalkeeper, Andre Onana, commands a weekly wage of £120,000. When considering the five-year age gap between Onana and the 32-year-old de Gea, the club's decision to prioritize the Cameroonian's presence seems astute, both in terms of performance and financial pragmatism.
However, according to Sky Germany's recent report (h/t Daily Mirror), de Gea is gearing up to step into Yann Sommer's shoes at Bayern Munich, slotting into the role of the understudy to the seasoned Manuel Neuer.
Although the deal remains in the balance, the Red Devils' former goalkeeper has reportedly given a thumbs-up to this potential transition.
