David de Gea's future at Fiorentina appears uncertain following a disappointing season. The legendary goalkeeper's previous success, capped by a Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year award in 2024-2025, contrasts with the club's struggles in 2025-2026. Despite being under contract until 2028, de Gea's high salary and mixed performances may lead to a reassessment by the club. Fiorentina's Fabio Paratici is reportedly considering options, including a potential renegotiation of de Gea's contract or a transfer to replace him with Lazio's Christos Mandas. De Gea has expressed a desire to remain in Florence, complicating any potential decision.
