Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is in talks with Serie A side Genoa over a potential move, marking his return to professional football after more than a year without a club. De Gea, who left Manchester United in July 2023 after 12 years and 545 appearances, is considering Genoa's proposal to replace Josep Martinez, who recently joined Inter Milan. During his time at Manchester United, De Gea was one of Europe's top goalkeepers, but his departure was marked by controversy over contract negotiations. Despite being linked with various Premier League clubs and receiving interest from Saudi Arabia, De Gea appears keen on continuing his career in European football, hinting at a decision with cryptic social media posts. This development comes as Manchester United also explores signing former Liverpool defender Neco Williams to bolster their right-back options, amidst competition from other Premier League clubs.
