De Gea has been out of football for almost a year now and has found it difficult finding himself a new club.

De Gea left Man Utd on a free transfer last summer with Erik ten Hag replacing him with Andre Onana, who was signed from Inter Milan for €52.5m.

De Gea had been offered an extension, but on reduced terms from his €435,000-a-week salary, and it was clear he was going to be second choice going forward at Old Trafford.

De Gea next club?

Still only 33, De Gea has had offers from Saudi Arabia.

However, it is understood he would rather compete for honours in Europe.

He has been linked at various times to PSG and Bayern Munich among others, but no concrete offers arrived.

De Gea is still yet to find a suitable club and it is reported that he could consider retiring from football if he doesn’t find one soon.

Will being an OnlyFans model be his next career, though?!
