Fiorentina struggles continue as David de Gea faces criticism
Summary

Fiorentina's season starts poorly with 25 goals conceded in 11 matches, ranking second-worst in Serie A. David de Gea, the team captain, is under scrutiny due to errors leading to soft goals in recent games against Juventus and Sassuolo. Despite still showcasing strong shot-stopping skills, De Gea's aging performance raises concerns about his future role. Fiorentina may need to reconsider their goalkeeping strategy after the season ends, as De Gea's contract extends until 2028 with an option for an additional year.
