      Why De Gea is still unemployed after Man Utd exit… from pop star wife to Spain rival scuppering dream Real Madrid move

      by

      DAVID DE GEA is floating in no man’s land as the experienced shot stopper still searches for a new home after leaving Manchester United this summer. The 32-year-old spent 12 years with the Red Devils just to walk away without a goodbye from the fans after he was replaced by Andre Onana.

      And you would think there would be a queue of clubs lining up to offer last season’s Premier League Golden Glove winner a contract… but that’s not the case.
      In fact the Daily Mail have reported that many coaches and managers are turning their noses up at De Gea with the view that he hasn’t developed his game enough and is only seen as a “save-making” goalkeeper.
      Onana was brought to Old Trafford by Erik ten Hag because of his ability with his feet, an area of the game that the Spaniard has struggled with historically.
      But make no mistake, there were still teams interested in signing De Gea this summer and if it hadn’t been for some sliding doors moments he could be in-between the sticks right now.

      European giants Real Madrid had been interested in signing the former Atletico Madrid man when their number one, Thibault Courtois, picked up a cruciate ligament injury.
      But they turned their attention to Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga instead, when they discovered they could sign him on a season-long loan.
      It’s reported that Real Madrid opted for Kepa not just for the ease of a loan move, but also as they felt they were choosing Spain’s second choice keeper over one who was no longer in the setup for the national team at all, in De Gea.
      De Gea was understood to be keen on a move back to Spain with he and his wife, Edurne Garcia, looking to settle down back in his home country.

      The pair married this summer and Edurne may have also had an impact on De Gea’s free agent status too.
      It is said that Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal were keen to attract the goalkeeper to the Middle East to join the likes of Neymar and Aleksandr Mitrovic.
      But the star’s wife reportedly made it clear she only wanted to make the move out there once all other options had been exhausted.
      This opened the door for Yassine Bounou to join Al-Hilal instead from Sevilla, thus leaving De Gea without a club in Europe or in Saudi Arabia.
      Now he is left in limbo as he looks to find himself a new stadium to call home and the lack of options as a first choice keeper could see him call an early end to his career.
      De Gea is said to be considering retirement if he is unable to find a new club where he will be the No1.
      The 2013 Premier League champion is currently training alone as he looks to maintain his fitness should the right option come along.

      Liverpool ‘targeting incredible move for Real Madrid superstar if Mo Salah completes Saudi transfer in 2024’

      by

      LIVERPOOL will reportedly target Real Madrid superstar Rodrygo next year if Mo Salah leaves for Saudi Arabia.The Reds are keeping their eye on the 22-year-old winger who may be falling down Carlo Ancelotti’s pecking order.

      Salah was courted by Al-Ittihad during the final days of the summer transfer window for a mammoth £170million – but the Reds swiftly declined the offer.
      One reason Liverpool were reluctant to sell the Egyptian star was the lack of time to source a replacement.
      If Salah is open to a switch to Saudi in January, the Reds can expect renewed interest in the new year for their main man.
      According to Fichajes Jurgen Klopp may be expecting his departure as he has been on the hunt for a Salah successor – and it looks like he has found his match.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Klopp is keen on Brazilian ace Rodrygo who will enter the final year of his contract at Real next year and will be available to purchase.
      There is a catch however as Ancelotti’s side will be asking for a big price and are willing to listen offers that exceed the mark of £86.5million, according to Todo Fichajes.
      A price tag that is half of what the Saudi’s have said to be willing to pay for Salah.
      This comes as Los Blancos are expecting the arrival of Kylian Mbappe next season and are not prepared to sell their star winger Vinicius Junior.

      Rodrygo made a move to the Bernabeu for £40m in 2019 from Brazilian giants Santos.
      He has since become a key part of the Madrid team – winning the La Liga title in his debut season and incredibly scoring a goal in his first match within a minute.
      The superstar has racked up 171 appearances and scored 38 goals as well as winning two La Liga’s, a Champions League and a Copa del Rey during his four years at the club.
      But the reports claims his start to this La Liga campaign has been “inconsistent” with Brahim Diaz potentially being Ancelotti’s preferred option.
      This may be the perfect chance for the Reds to swoop in a snatch the Brazilian who they have had their eyes on since his days at Santos. More

      His form landed him a mega-money move to European giants Real Madrid, where he’s flourished in his first four outings for the Spaniards – scoring five goals already.
      As with hundreds of players around the world, Bellingham recently learned his rating for the upcoming EAFC 24 video game – although he discovered his stats alongside Real team-mates Brahim Diaz, Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo.
      “I’ve got to be like 84,” the former Birmingham City star said when he was asked to predict his pace racing.
      But he was way off the mark and his jaw nearly hit the floor when he was told he’d only been given a 76.

      Diaz was quick to mock his Los Blancos team-mates’ rating – and his running style.
      The Spaniard said: “You’re running like this all the time bro.”
      A perplexed and stunned Bellingham couldn’t believe the rating, adding: “You’re joking?
      “I was more last year, so I’ve gone down?”

      Bellingham may not be happy with his stats for the soon-to-be-released video game, but he can have no complaints about his numbers for Real Madrid.
      The 20-year-old is the top goalscorer for Carlo Ancelotti’s side this season with five goals in four matches, plus an assist.
      He picked up his sixth goal of the season in England’s 3-1 win over old rivals Scotland at Hampden Park on Tuesday night.
      But the soft-spoken midfielder is refusing to get too far ahead of himself, telling beIN Sports: “I’m always learning.
      “I’m so lucky to have played with so many great players with my last club and even more so at my new club which is a big boost for me and for my own confidence to play with such great players.
      “I’m just learning all the time really. I’m trying to add more attributes to my game and trying to affect the ones I’ve already got.
      “If I can keep being effective in goal and doing the things that I do well already overall in my game then I think I could be doing well and hopefully have a good season.
      “So it’s important that I keep it up.”
      Bellingham and his Real Madrid team-mates will be back in action on Sunday night, welcoming Real Sociedad to the Bernabeu. More

      PSG have drawn up a shortlist of Real Madrid players to replace MbappeCredit: Splash
      Mbappe is still the main man at PSG despite the forward looking for a move away this summer after a very public fall-out with the club.
      The France international refused to sign new terms with the French champions, only to be banished from first-team training and the club’s pre-season tour.
      And though both sides have buried the hatchet, Mbappe’s future remains unclear with just under a year left on his contract.
      Real Madrid have been linked to the 23-year-old for a while now and came close to signing the Frenchman in 2022.

      While it has been widely reported that he has already agreed on a move to the Spanish capital next season.
      This has led to PSG boss Luis Enrique drawing up a shortlist of five Real players who can replace Mbappe should he depart.
      According to Sport, the list includes Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camvinga and Pedricio Valverde.
      The report claims Vinicius and Rodrygo are the “top priorities” as they are regarded as “two of the best wingers on the planet”.

      The Brazillian duo however are on Ancelotti’s “untouchable” list but this could change if an eye-catching offer sweeps through.
      PSG have already lost star Marco Verratti who left for Qatar Stars League club Al-Arabi this summer.
      Losing Mbpappe next year means the Spaniard will need to bolster his squad and hopes one of Real’s stars can do just that.

      The 22-year-old has become one of the best young left-backs in football.
      Davies burst onto the scene in the MLS with Vancouver Whitecaps before his record-breaking transfer to Bayern Munich in 2018.
      Within a year the Candian had established himself as a first-team regular and has progressed to be among the world’s top left-backs – known for his blistering pace, dribbling and crossing ability.
      He has had a remarkable start for the Bundesliga side scoring eight goals in 156 appearances.

      Davies has also picked up some silverware along the way winning five Bundesliga titles and the Champions League in 2020.
      He scored Canada’s first World Cup goal ever at Qatar 2022, putting his penalty miss disappointment behind him from the first match to head in against Croatia.
      The left-back’s success has led to transfer attention and Spanish outlet Marca claim Davies has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
      Ancelotti is on the hunt to bolster his defence as Ferland Mendy’s calf injury means his future at the club is uncertain, the report claims.

      However, it is believed Real Madrid will wait until summer 2024 to try and sign the full-back.
      Davies previously revealed he struggles with loneliness in Germany meaning a move to the Spanish capital could be something that appeals to the star.
      Davies’s contract with the Bavarian side does not come to an end until June 2025.
      Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel may be reluctant to let his star player go.
      But if Davies does depart next summer he would join new Real Madrid youngsters Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham. More

      The Frenchman signed for Al-Ittihad, leaving a significant gap up front for Real Madrid.
      Ancelotti and Co opted not to go big for a striker this summer, instead landing former Stoke and Newcastle flop Joselu on loan from Espanyol.
      While the Italian is currently content with his options, the Spanish giants are expected to recruit a star forward next year.
      Real Madrid have long been linked with Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe.

      They are expected to finally get a deal over the line for the 24-year-old next summer, with his PSG contract set to expire.

      Alvarez, 23, has excelled since moving to the Etihad – despite having to compete with Erling Haaland up top.
      He netted 17 goals in all competitions last season, helping City to the Treble while also winning the World Cup with Argentina.
      Manager Pep Guardiola won’t want to lose Alvarez, who has started all four of City’s Premier League matches this term thus far.
      In the absence of a top striker, Real Madrid have been relying on Jude Bellingham for goals so far this season.
      The England star has scored five times in his first four matches for his new side, with his manager setting him a goals target.
      Ancelotti said: “He can reach 15 goals without a problem. He moves very well and that’s why he scores so many goals.
      “He’s a player who learns very quickly, we don’t have to tell him things too many times.”
