Fiorentina set to trigger extension to keep De Gea for another season

The Spanish goalkeeper, who signed a one-year deal with the Viola last summer, has impressed with a string of consistent performances in Serie A, prompting the club to secure his services until June 2026.

De Gea, 34, arrived in Florence in August 2024 following a lengthy spell as a free agent after leaving Manchester United in July 2023. Despite concerns over his time away from competitive football, the veteran shot-stopper quickly established himself as a key figure in Fiorentina's squad, proving crucial in their domestic campaign.

His experience and shot-stopping ability have been widely praised, with several clean sheets and decisive saves earning him plaudits from fans and pundits alike. As a result, the club's board has been particularly pleased with his leadership and influence both on and off the pitch.

As Fiorentina aim to build on their recent progress, the Spaniard's presence between the sticks is expected to provide much-needed stability and confidence at the back.
