Here’s a paraphrased version:
**What’s going on?**
Various sources indicate that former Manchester United player De Gea, who has been without a club for over a year, is set to join Serie A team Fiorentina this summer. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that he has reportedly agreed to personal terms with the Italian side, reducing his salary expectation to €2 million (£1.6 million/$2 million) annually.
**THE BIGGER PICTURE**
The 33-year-old was earlier linked to a transfer to another Serie A team, Genoa, but the move is said to have fallen through due to his ‘excessive financial demands.’ While several clubs from the Saudi Pro League and MLS showed interest in him this summer, none of the deals materialized.
**Did you know?**
The seasoned goalkeeper joined Manchester United from Atletico Madrid in 2011, making 545 appearances for the Premier League club and winning the Premier League, FA Cup, two Carabao Cups, and a Europa League title.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Spaniard will arrive in Florence on Friday to complete his transfer to Italy, signing a one-year contract with an option to extend for an additional year.
