A prospective weekly salary of £500,000 and the opportunity to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia were declined by David De Gea.

The 33-year-old goalie De Gea is without a team after leaving Manchester United during the summer.

Al-Nassr, Ronaldo’s Saudi team, was eager to add him as the newest big name and hoped to persuade him.

However, people close to De Gea claim that his wife Edurne is hesitant to follow him to the Middle East.

Valencia may lose interest in De Gea due to their financial problems, but United may still be able to offer the Spaniard a short-term contract.

Inter Miami is also interested, and the idea of competing in Major League Soccer is appealing.

Next, De Gea would team up with Lionel Messi, Ronaldo’s former adversary, instead of the Portuguese.

Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, two of his former Spain teammates, are also at Inter Miami.

Given that Cameroon has qualified, Man Utd may be without their starting goalkeeper, Andre Onana, come January 1.

The event is scheduled to happen between January 13 and February 11.
