David De Gea has been a free agent for five months after leaving Manchester United at the end of his contract. On multiple occasions, he has been connected with a comeback to action with several clubs, but nothing has come of it.

However, with the winter transfer market opening next week, there could be movement, and De Gea could return to the Premier League. Newcastle United’s first-choice goalie Nick Pope will be sidelined for several months due to a catastrophic shoulder injury, and club great Alan Shearer has supported the Magpies to sign the 33-year-old Spaniard, according to MD.

“I would sign him.” Newcastle, in my opinion, requires a goalkeeper, and De Gea is available. I understand the salary would be substantial, but they would not be required to pay a transfer fee for him. It’s no accident that Dubravka was on loan at United last season and was constantly a replacement for De Gea.”

Newcastle would be an ideal fit for De Gea, who has been linked with a return to Spain. For the time being, his future is uncertain, but that could change by the end of next month.
