David de Gea
De Gea is now being linked with a move to Newcastle United in the January transfer window. The Spaniard left Old Trafford at the end of June after his contract expired. It is believed he was initially presented with an offer to stay in Manchester but on significantly reduced terms compared to his last contract of £375 000 (R8.9 million) a week. With Newcastle No. 1 Nick Pope facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after sustaining a shoulder injury, De Gea has emerged as a potential replacement. The former Red Devils star is also thought to have rejected an offer from the Saudi Pro League, while The Telegraph claims that his wife Edurne, with whom he has a baby daughter Yanay, is keen to remain in Spain instead.
