David de Gea has officially left Manchester United after the club decided not to renew his contract. The 32-year-old goalkeeper is now in search of a new club ahead of the upcoming season. According to Betfair’s latest odds, a move to a Saudi Pro League club is the most likely destination for De Gea, with odds set at 9/4. Major League Soccer is also among the frontrunners at 3/1, while Bayern Munich is considered his most likely next club at 9/2.
De Gea’s departure from Manchester United marks the end of a 13-year stint at Old Trafford. The Spanish international joined the club in 2011 and quickly established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. However, in recent years, his form has dipped, leading to speculation about his future at the club.
The decision not to renew De Gea’s contract comes after several weeks of uncertainty. The club had until the end of June to make a decision, and it seems they have chosen to move on from the veteran goalkeeper. United is now pressing ahead with a £44 million move for Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana, who will likely be De Gea’s replacement.
With just a few weeks left before the start of the new season, De Gea will need to find a new club quickly. The odds suggest that a move to a Saudi Pro League club is the most likely outcome. Several big names, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and Ruben Neves, have already made the move to Saudi Arabia this summer.
Another possible destination for De Gea is Major League Soccer. The league has been attracting top talent in recent years, with several high-profile players making the move to the United States. A move to MLS could offer De Gea a fresh start and a chance to revive his career.
Bayern Munich is also in the running for De Gea’s signature. The German giants are in need of a new goalkeeper as Manuel Neuer continues to recover from a broken leg. De Gea’s experience and quality would make him an excellent addition to the team.
In Spain, both Valencia and Sevilla are interested in signing De Gea. Valencia, priced at 15/2, is considered the frontrunner among La Liga clubs. Sevilla, priced at 17/2, is also in the mix. A return to his home country could be an appealing option for De Gea, who began his career at Atletico Madrid.
Speaking of Atletico Madrid, the club where De Gea started his professional career is also listed as a potential destination. However, the odds of him returning to Atletico are set at 16/1, suggesting it is less likely than other options.
Inter Milan, who may need a replacement for Onana, are priced at 12/1 to sign De Gea on a free transfer. Real Betis is also in the mix at 14/1.
As the search for a new club continues, De Gea will be hoping to find a team that can offer him regular playing time and the opportunity to compete for trophies. Whether he ends up in Saudi Arabia, MLS, Germany, or Spain, one thing is certain – De Gea’s next move will be closely watched by football fans around the world.
