De Gea reportedly signed a contract extension with the Red Devils, but the club backed out of the agreement. Now a free agent, the goalkeeper is on the hunt for a new club. Still, just 32, De Gea has a few good years left in him. We’ll look at the odds of David de Gea next club as the shot-stopper weighs a big-money Saudi Arabia move.

Now, let’s look at the David de Gea next club odds.

This Summer alone, Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Marcelo Brozovic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Roberto Firmino and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Ruben Neves have moved to the Saudi Pro League.
David de Gea could follow in their footsteps, with Al-Nassr reportedly interested. Betting on soccer next club odds is quite popular during the Summer transfer window.

De Gea to join any Saudi Arabian club currently comes in at -175 odds, and the money could be difficult to turn down.
La Liga Return?
David de Gea started his career at Atletico Madrid and won the Europa League with them. When he joined Manchester United in 2011, he became the then-most expensive goalie in Premier League history. Now, the keeper could be weighing up a return to Spain.
Three La Liga teams on the odds board are Sevilla, Atletico and Real Betis. Of those clubs, Sevilla appear to be the most likely to sign up. De Gea to go to Sevilla sits at +600 odds. Meanwhile, De Gea to return to Atletico Madrid is priced at +650. Atleti’s current keeper, Jan Oblak, is among the best in the world, though.
Last season, Atletico Madrid finished third place in the Spanish La Liga standings, but both Sevilla and Atleti can offer De Gea Champions League football. Real Betis display +3300 odds to seal David de Gea’s signature and will play in the Europa League in 2023-24.
Other Options
There are multiple countries that David de Gea could end up in. Bayern Munich, who are 11-time defending Bundesliga champions, show +1200 odds to sign De Gea. They do already have Manuel Neuer and Yann Sommer, though.
Turkey’s Fenerbahce also come in at +1200 odds, and they recently won the Turkish Cup. Interestingly, the David de Gea next club odds price any MLS club at +1400 odds. De Gea could become the highest-profile goalkeeper ever to play in MLS. Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets have already joined the league this Summer.
As Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana is set to join Manchester United, Inter will be looking for a replacement. It’s unlikely but possible that De Gea swaps clubs with Onana and joins Inter and that potentiality shows +1800 odds.
De Gea’s best chance to stay in England is with Chelsea, who lost backup keeper Edouard Mendy to Saudi Arabia. Chelsea display +2000 odds to keep De Gea in the Premier League. The only other club with shorter than +3000 odds to sign De Gea is Ajax, at +2500.
