The Spanish player's contract expires at the end of the month, and the Red Devils acknowledged last week when revealing their retained list that they are currently in contract negotiations with the 32-year-old.

De Gea was anticipated to reject a hefty offer from the Saudi Pro League in favor of sticking at Old Trafford, according to a 90min report from earlier this month.

De Gea's current contract has less than a week left, but he and Man Utd have not yet reached an agreement.

90min knows that Manchester United has been considering a move for a new goalkeeper in the transfer market in the interim.


Diogo Costa of Porto and David Raya of Brentford are Man Utd's primary targets. The latter is currently in discussions with Tottenham, who are unwilling to reach the Bees' £40 million asking price. However, the Red Devils may be willing to contribute that amount and thwart Spurs' intentions.

Erik ten Hag, who collaborated with Andre Onana at Ajax, continues to be a major fan of the Cameroonian. Inter may need to sell him in order to balance their accounts, according to a February report from 90min, and Chelsea's recent interest in the 27-year-old has cooled.

It seems less probable that Man Utd will spend a lot of money on a new goalkeeper if De Gea signs a new deal. If the Spaniard does sign, Yann Sommer of Bayern Munich is a potential target.


His first 18 months at Ajax were challenging after being hired as Matthijs de Ligt's defensive replacement. Lvarez only participated in 27% of the league's available minutes during that time. But after making an impact in midfield, he quickly rose to the top of the squad roster. Only Duan Tadi (7,479) and Jurrin Timber (6,905) have played more minutes for Ajax in the Eredivisie over the previous two and a half seasons than lvarez (6,090), who has been on the field 77% of the time in his club's league games.

 Alvarez was one of the better players for Ajax during a very terrible 2022–23 season, and he proved to be an indispensable member of the squad.
