David De Gea Agrees to New Contract with Manchester United
According to recent reports, David De Gea, the goalkeeper of Manchester United, has agreed to a new contract with the club. De Gea’s current deal was set to expire this summer, although United had the option to extend it for another year.
It has been reported that Manchester United did not want to activate the one-year option they held on De Gea’s contract. This option would have seen the Spanish goalkeeper earn more than £350,000 per week when the club were in the Champions League. Due to United announcing losses in their financial results and an increasing wage bill, they sought to keep De Gea at the club with a lower salary but over a longer period. The new contract was eventually agreed upon, according to a report by Telegraph UK.
As per the reports, the 32-year-old De Gea has agreed to a “significant wage cut” in exchange for a longer deal with incentives for matches played. This means that De Gea will be staying at Manchester United for the foreseeable future, which will be a relief for the club and its fans.
De Gea has been a crucial part of the Manchester United squad since joining the club in 2011 from Atletico Madrid. He has won several individual accolades, including the Premier League Golden Glove award on four occasions, and has been instrumental in the team’s success in recent years.
Overall, this is good news for Manchester United, as they have managed to retain one of their key players for the long term. With De Gea between the posts, the club can hope to achieve even more success in the coming seasons.
