Italian side Fiorentina have signed former Manchester United keeper David de Gea.

The 33-year-old spent last season on the sidelines after his contract at United ended in 2023.

Fiorentina said De Gea would be presented to the media on Monday, 12 August but did not state the length of the Spaniard’s contract.

De Gea made 545 appearances for United across 13 years and was part of the team that won the 2012-13 Premier League title.

He also lifted two League Cups, one FA Cup and the Europa League during his time at Old Trafford.

Fiorentina, who finished eighth in Serie A in 2023-24, last won a major trophy in 2001, when they claimed the Coppa Italia.

They have been beaten in the last two Uefa Conference League finals and are in the play-off round of the same competition again this season.
