Ex-Man Utd goalkeeper, De Gea ready to take shock decision on his career

Former Spain goalkeeper, David de Gea, is considering retirement as he struggles to find a new club, according to the UK Guardian.

It is believed the former Manchester United stopper is determined to remain No. 1.

De Gea has already turned down offers since leaving Old Trafford this summer.

These include bids from Saudi Arabia, as the 32-year-old is not motivated by money.

However, he has kept himself fit with individual training sessions and is actively looking for a new team, albeit one that would install him as their first choice.

De Gea would prefer to sign for a team capable of pushing for major trophies this season.

He has recently been linked with a move to either Real Betis or Valencia in LaLiga, though neither switch has materialised. Potential interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich also fell by the wayside, leaving the keeper a free agent.
