Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea has reportedly responded to interest from Newcastle United, who are considering him as a replacement for the sidelined Nick Pope. Pope is currently recovering from a shoulder injury sustained in Newcastle’s 1-0 win over Erik ten Hag’s side on Saturday.
De Gea, released by Manchester United after 12 years at Old Trafford, remains a free agent. Despite a preference for a summer return to Spain, he has been linked to a potential move to Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. Recent sightings of De Gea in Manchester have sparked rumors of a potential return to the team, especially with Andre Onana facing difficulties.
According to reports from ESPN via The Metro, the 33-year-old goalkeeper has been actively training and is open to the possibility of joining Newcastle. Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale is also linked to a move to Tyneside, and he is reportedly receptive to the idea.
