David De Gea has made an impressive comeback in Serie A with Fiorentina. After spending a year without a club following his departure from Manchester United, the Spanish goalkeeper has become a crucial pillar for La Viola.
His exceptional performances in October earned him the Player of the Month award from Fiorentina. De Gea played a key role in helping Fiorentina secure four consecutive victories, including two clean sheets and two penalty saves. Thanks to his contributions, Fiorentina currently sits third in the Serie A standings, just one point behind leaders Napoli.
Career Resurgence in Italy
After leaving Manchester United in the summer of 2023, De Gea spent a year without playing before joining Fiorentina. Now, under the guidance of coach Vincenzo Italiano, De Gea has re-established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
Not only has he been a rock-solid presence in defense, but De Gea also recorded his second career assist this season. The assist came when he delivered a long ball that Moise Kean converted into a goal during Fiorentina’s 3-1 victory over Verona.
De Gea’s Future at Fiorentina
De Gea’s success at Stadio Artemio Franchi has caught the attention of Fiorentina, who are now considering extending his contract. Reports indicate that the club plans to activate a one-year extension clause, which would also double his salary.
Currently, De Gea is enjoying the international break before returning to action with Fiorentina this weekend. He is scheduled to face Como, coached by his former Spain teammate Cesc Fàbregas.
De Gea’s resurgence in Serie A is proof that his quality has not faded. His consistent performances have not only impressed Fiorentina fans but may also draw the attention of his former club, Manchester United.
