As rumors swirl about his return to Premier League, De Gea's hint on social media

David De Gea was, for a decade, Manchester United's undisputed goalkeeper. He arrived in England from Atlético Madrid in the 2012/13 season and in his first year won the Premier League title with The Red Devils. In fact, this was the last time they achieved it.

After ten years, this summer he had to leave the club by decision of coach Erik Ten Hag, who preferred to request the hiring of Andre Onana, whom he knew from Ajax. The English side paid more than $60 million for the Cameroonian player to Inter, but things did not go as expected and Onana was responsible for several goals they conceded during the season, especially in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, De Gea received offers from several clubs and it was rumored that his future could be in Saudi Arabia or Major League Soccer. However, he seems to have other plans and that is why he rejected the proposals he received in recent months. His goal is apparently to join a top team in Europe and compete in the soccer elite.

Newcastle could be an ideal destination for him. The Magpies are still competing in the Champions League (their future in group F will be decided this Wednesday), in addition to still being in the Carabao Cup and having an acceptable performance in the Premier League. They suffered the loss of goalkeeper Nick Pope, who picked up a shoulder injury, and De Gea appears as the favorite to replace him.

A hint?

While his possible contract with Newcastle is rumored, David De Gea shared a picture on his official Instagram account that many interpreted as a hint about his future. There you can see his legs on the grass, the goalkeeper gloves lying on the ground and the message "work, work, work". Apparently, the goalkeeper's return to professional soccer is getting closer and closer.
