  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The former Manchester United star seems to be eager to resume his career after spending almost a whole season out of the game. La Liga side Real Betis have emerged as the latest potential destination for De Gea as they look for a replacement for 41-year-old Claudio Bravo. De Gea has already turned down several opportunities but is believed to be keen to return to Spain.

  De Gea is still the current holder of the Premier League's Golden Glove award after keeping 17 clean sheets for Erik ten Hag's team last season. The former Spain star also won the award in the 2017-18 season.

  WHAT NEXT FOR DE GEA

  It remains to be seen if De Gea will be able to return to top level football after essentially taking a year out. The goalkeeper is available as a free agent but is unlikely to come cheap after reportedly being paid £375,000-a-week during his time at Manchester United.
