Fiorentina has officially confirmed that goalkeeper David De Gea has extended his contract with the club. The new agreement runs until June 2028 and reportedly includes a significant salary increase, effectively doubling his previous earnings.
Despite interest from clubs like AS Monaco and Bayern Munich, the experienced Spanish keeper chose to commit his future to Florence, where his career has seen a resurgence.
The 34-year-old had been without a club for a year after leaving Manchester United, carefully considering his options before joining Fiorentina.
De Gea Grateful for Fiorentina Opportunity
The Italian side provided De Gea with an opportunity to return to form, and he demonstrated his capabilities through 42 appearances this season, recording 11 clean sheets and making crucial saves.
While his initial contract included an option to extend until June 2026, Fiorentina opted to reward his strong performances with this longer, improved deal lasting until 2028.
Transfer expert Alfredo Pedullà of Sportitalia reports the deal is valued at €2.7 million per season plus performance-related bonuses.
This contract provides some welcome stability for the club, particularly after head coach Raffaele Palladino`s resignation was accepted earlier today.
