      Ex-Man Utd star David de Gea ‘set for instant and very lucrative return to football’ after being released by Red Devils

      by

      DAVID DE GEA could be set for an instant return to football after being released by Manchester United this month.The Spanish stopper was the club’s highest earner on £375,000-a-week but United did not renew his deal after setting their sights on Andre Onana.
      De Gea could be set to join a Saudi side, according to reportsCredit: AFP
      According to the Daily Star though, De Gea could be set to DOUBLE his salary following ‘lucrative’ offers from Saudi clubs this summer.
      A reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo could be on the cards with Al-Nassr being one of the interested parties.
      However the Riyadh based club are currently on a transfer ban owing to outstanding payments – opening the door for other Saudi sides to swoop.
      De Gea initially looked set to extend his stay at United – with the stopper being willing to accept a paycut to fight for his place.
      READ MORE MAN UTD
      But with an agreement near, United withdrew the offer, leading to De Gea walking away from negotiations and ending his 12 year association with the club.
      United had initially looked at Everton keeper Jordan Pickford as De Gea’s replacement but baulked at the Toffees’ £70million price tag.
      The club then turned their sights to Onana – and are close to completing a £47m move with the keeper undergoing a medical later this week.
      De Gea leaves United as their most-capped goalkeeper in history having made 545 appearances.
      Most read in Football
      He won six major titles with United, winning the Premier League in 2013 and the Europa League in 2017.
      Following De Gea through the exit door could be now former captain Harry Maguire.
      Maguire confirmed yesterday that he had been stripped of the United captaincy – with manager Erik Ten Hag no longer seeing him as a reliable first-team option.
      He confirmed in a social media post that he was “extremely disappointed” with Ten Hag’s decision.
      West Ham are understood to be the front runners for Maguire’s signature – but potential buyers are being put off by United’s demands of a £50m fee.
      SunSport reported yesterday that Chelsea have joined West Ham, Tottenham and Newcastle in the race for Maguire’s signature. More

      As well as Prem interest, Inter Milan and Saudi clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal also need centre-backs.

      Wayne Rooney puts ex-Man Utd hero on ‘Discovery List’ – which could make DC United money even if he joins rival MLS side

      Each club in the league can name up to seven players on their Discovery List.
      The list consists of players a club has scouted who are playing outside the MLS and are exempt from being drafted or assigned.
      If another club signs a player on a rival’s Discovery List, then they must also pay a fee to that team.
      Rooney has revealed that Jesse Lingard is on his DC United Discovery List in case he chooses to move to the USA.

      The former England striker explained to The Times: “You don’t know about ‘discovery’ players? OK, take Erling Haaland.
      “We could put Haaland on our ‘Discovery List’ and it means that if he ever came to the MLS but let’s say wanted to play for one of the LA teams and not us, the LA team would have to pay Man City – and us. Because we’ve “discovered” him! It’s crazy.

      “But if you’re clever, you can make money. Last year when Jesse Lingard signed for a year with [Nottingham] Forest we put him on our Discovery List because you thought there’s every chance that after a year at Forest he’ll want to come to the US and that would mean we could sign him or get money for him.”
      Lingard is currently a free agent following the expiry of his one-year deal with Nottingham Forest.

      Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea pocketed millions for releasing World Cup stars – and even Boreham Wood got cash

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY earned more from Fifa than anyone else for releasing their players to star in the World Cup – but even National League Boreham Wood got a share of the cash.Fifa paid out £160million to 440 different clubs around the world for releasing their players for last year’s World Cup in Qatar.
      Clubs received a share of Fifa payouts for their players competing in the World Cup
      English clubs received a total of £29million in compensation, more than any other country, with City top of the table worldwide, earning £3.5million.
      While that payment will hardly be noticed in City’s huge accounts, the payments for clubs further down the pyramid can make a huge difference.
      Especially for the lowest ranked English club receiving cash, Boreham Wood.
      The non-league side didn’t have any current players in Qatar last winter, but Fifa rewards teams who played a role in the development of players during the qualification period for the World Cup.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Boreham Wood sold Wales international Sorba Thomas to Championship side Huddersfield Town in January 2021 and therefore benefited from the Fifa payments, earning £24,000.
      Huddersfield earned £118,000 for Thomas’ role at the World Cup, despite the 24-year-old only featuring late on in Wales’ 1-1 draw against the USA, coming on as an injury time replacement for Fulham winger Harry Wilson.
      The payments are calculated by how long each player spent at the World Cup, with clubs earning just over £9,000 for each day their man was participating in the Middle East.
      Announcing the figures, Fifa president Gianni Infantino has confirmed that the total compensation figure of £160million will almost double to £304million for the 2026 and 2030 editions of the World Cup.
      Most read in Football
      Infantino said: “The Fifa Club Benefits Programme recognises the contribution that clubs make to the success of the Fifa World Cup, and this far reaching initiative ensures that Fifa redistributes a portion of the revenues from the competition to the clubs.”
      After Manchester City, the top English earners were Manchester United, who pocketed £2.5million and Chelsea who earned £2.4m. More
