Fiorentina set to consider offers for ex-Man Utd goalkeeper De Gea

Fiorentina are considering receiving offers for goalkeeper David De Gea before the end of the season, despite captain Paolo Vanoli's clear stance against selling him. The former Manchester United stopper has been under scrutiny for his performance in the current campaign. Vanoli's public support for De Gea is evident, stating, "He's my captain, full stop.

De Gea is not up for discussion." De Gea's team suffered a 2-1 defeat against Inter Milan, where he put up a stellar performance but eventually lost in stoppage time. The team finished 18th with just four points from eight games. Fiorentina is exploring alternative options, with Tommaso Martinelli, a 20-year-old on loan from Avellino, being one internal candidate for the position.

Another option is River Plate's 22-year-old Santiago Beltrán, with his contract set to run until December 2027. Inter Milan and Premier League as well as Bundesliga clubs are interested in Beltrán, who is valued at around €20 million. Lazio's Christos Mandas was also considered in the summer, but no agreement could be reached.
