Although David De Gea expected an offer from Saudi Arabia that would allow him to pocket around 20 million euros per season, either because said proposal has not reached him or because he has decided to continue in the Premier League, the Madrid native is willing to approach positions with the Newcastle. The Magpies had tempted the 33-year-old goalkeeper after Nick Pope’s injury but he was not convinced by having to reduce his salary, he did not renew his contract with Manchester United in the summer because he refused to do so, nor did he agree to sign only until the end of the season.
However, as The Telegraph now reveals, David De Gea has given in and is willing to commit to Newcastle until the end of this season, adjusting to the English team’s budget.
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer recently encouraged the Magpies to sign David De Gea. Asked about signing him, he said: “Yes, I would sign him. I think Newcastle need a goalkeeper and De Gea is there. I know the salary would be enormous, but they wouldn’t have to pay a transfer for him.”
What is David de Gea’s cachet?
It should be noted that David De Gea received 375,000 pounds per week, almost 450,000 euros at the exchange rate, at Manchester United. The 33-year-old goalkeeper did not accept a salary cut to continue with the English team last summer and is now without a team. Newcastle, for their part, cannot move on those figures, so David De Gea will have to reduce his salary considerably if he wants to continue playing in the Premier League.
