David de Gea could be on his way to Saudi Arabia in January as Al-Ettifaq are said to be plotting a move for the goalkeeper.
Steven Gerrard’s team are the frontrunners to sign the former Manchester United star, The Sun reports, but other teams in the Saudi Pro League are interested in snapping him up when the January transfer window opens up.
De Gea has been a free agent since leaving United in the summer after 12 years with the club. He has previously been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, with Al-Nassr reported to have offered him a contract, while MLS side Inter Miami are also said to be interested.
It has been claimed that De Gea earned up to £375,000 per week at Old Trafford and expects to be paid even more than that in Saudi Arabia as the oil-rich nation has been spending big to bring famous faces to the Pro League in recent transfer windows.
