Al Nassr, the Saudi Arabian club, has set its sights on acquiring the talented goalkeeper David De Gea from Manchester United, following their failed attempt to secure their primary target, Hakim Ziyech.
Reports indicate that Al Nassr is prepared to offer De Gea a weekly salary of approximately £250,000 as the Spanish player considers his future options. De Gea is now a free agent after the expiration of his contract with Manchester United, yet he remains hopeful of securing a new deal at Old Trafford.
Despite facing criticism for some notable errors during the previous season, De Gea received public support from Erik ten Hag, who expressed his desire for the goalkeeper to remain with the club for at least another year.
Initially, there were reports that De Gea had agreed to a new contract with reduced terms; however, Manchester United subsequently withdrew their offer, leaving the player’s future uncertain.
Now, with De Gea’s tenure at Manchester United hanging by a thread, Al Nassr has emerged as a potential suitor eager to make the 32-year-old their new first-choice goalkeeper, according to credible sources.

Al Nassr had previously pursued a move for Chelsea winger Hakim Ziyech, which ultimately fell through due to medical concerns. However, they view the acquisition of De Gea as a potential surprise signing, particularly considering the recent arrival of his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at the club.
Meanwhile, Chelsea is actively seeking to offload Ziyech, having already completed the sales of N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Kai Havertz, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Mason Mount this summer.
Rio Ferdinand, a revered figure at Old Trafford, has expressed his disappointment with how Manchester United has handled De Gea’s situation in recent months
