David de Gea, once a fixture at Manchester United, is now reportedly attracting attention from Italian giants Juventus.
De Gea spent 12 years at Old Trafford, collecting four Player of the Year awards during his time at the club.
Now 35, the Spaniard is with Fiorentina, where he is trying to help them climb out of a relegation fight in Serie A.
He has taken some criticism from the Italian press this season but has also turned in a few highlight-reel saves.
Now, TuttoMercatoWeb claims that Juventus are eyeing De Gea ahead of the summer transfer window.
David de Gea linked with move to Juventus
De Gea was regularly in the conversation about the top goalkeepers in the world during his time at Old Trafford.
One of his main rivals back then was Gianluigi Buffon.
In 2016, the Spaniard called Buffon “an idol and a living legend”, according to a quote reported by TNT Sports.
Having spent a total of 19 years at Juventus across two different periods, the Italian shot-stopper is an idol De Gea could emulate by moving to Turin late in his career.
Michele Di Gregorio, Juve’s current keeper, has come under fire for several mistakes this season, pushing the club to look at other options for the summer window.
David de Gea’s season with Fiorentina
Just three clubs have let in more than Fiorentina’s 39 goals this season, and De Gea has kept only three clean sheets in 25 Serie A matches in the 2025/26 campaign.
Despite the numbers, Gary Lineker described De Gea as “brilliant”, and he has often stood out as a positive in a struggling team.
If Fiorentina do go down, a move to Juventus could offer De Gea a way to stay in Serie A.
On the other hand, his contract runs until 2028, so Fiorentina are not under immediate pressure to move him on just yet.
