Lazio and Fiorentina consider player swap involving De Gea and Mandas

Summary

Lazio and Fiorentina are reportedly exploring a potential swap deal that would send David De Gea to Lazio in exchange for Christos Mandas. Mandas is returning to Lazio after a loan spell at Bournemouth where he did not make any appearances. Fiorentina is looking to offload De Gea despite his contributions during a challenging season, where he made 46 appearances. The proposed deal is still in the preliminary stages, as Lazio may struggle with De Gea's high salary, which could limit their ability to proceed. Inter Milan and Juventus are also considered potential suitors for De Gea.
