According to Spanish media, the former Manchester United goalkeeper is considering a move to Real Betis. It proved to be a perfect place for ex-Real Madrid star
Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea remains a free agent five months after leaving Old Trafford. There were rumours of his possible return to the Red Devils, but the latest reports from Spain suggest he could be returning - to Spain.
De Gea is reportedly keen on coming back to his homeland, which would also benefit his family. As per ED, Real Betis have opened preliminary talks over a deal for De Gea, with both sides hoping to seal the deal.
The Seville-based newspaper mentions the so-called 'Isco formula', that is to say, a short-term deal on reduced terms aimed at benefitting both parties in the immediate future. Once labelled a future Real Madrid star, Isco resurrected his career at the Andalusian side and is playing football with the whites and greens.
Betis CEO Ramon Alarcon has admitted that De Gea's demands are over their salary limit, and thus, any deal for the 33-year-old, who until recently was the highest-paid goalkeeper in the world, will require a sale.
