Genoa are considering a bold move for former Manchester United and Spain national team goalkeeper David De Gea. The Spanish shot-stopper, who has been a free agent for over a year, is being eyed by the Serie A club as they search for a new goalkeeper following the departure of Josep Martinez to Inter.
Transfer news website Tuttomercatoweb report how in recent weeks, Dominik Kotarski of PAOK Thessaloniki appeared to be the frontrunner for the position. However, negotiations with the Greek club have stalled, as PAOK has been reluctant to part with their number one goalkeeper.
This has led Genoa to explore the possibility of signing De Gea, a seasoned veteran with 664 professional appearances and over a decade of experience at Manchester United. Despite his impressive resume, De Gea’s fitness and form would need to be thoroughly assessed, given his long period without competitive football.
The potential acquisition of De Gea represents an ambitious move for Genoa as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the new season. The club’s management is keen to secure a reliable and experienced goalkeeper to strengthen their defensive line.
