Fiorentina has officially announced that goalkeeper David De Gea has signed a new contract, keeping him at the club until June 2028. This deal reportedly includes a significant salary increase, doubling his previous earnings.
The 34-year-old Spanish goalkeeper, who had been without a club for a year after leaving Manchester United, has found a new lease on life in Florence. Despite interest from AS Monaco and Bayern Munich, De Gea chose to continue his career revival with Fiorentina.
De Gea`s Impressive Performances
Since joining Fiorentina, De Gea has demonstrated his enduring quality, making 42 appearances across all competitions this season and keeping 11 clean sheets. His outstanding performances have not only secured his place in the team but also earned him this improved contract.
Contract Details
The new agreement extends De Gea`s stay beyond his original contract, which had an option until 2026. According to transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà, the new deal is worth €2.7 million per season plus bonuses, effectively doubling De Gea`s previous salary.
This contract extension provides some stability for Fiorentina, especially in light of recent changes, including the departure of coach Raffaele Palladino.
De Gea`s commitment to Fiorentina highlights the club`s ambition and the player`s satisfaction with his role in Italy. It also demonstrates the mutual trust between the goalkeeper and the club, setting the stage for continued success in the coming seasons.
