The Spanish goalkeeper wants to be ready for the training camp and is already training. Meanwhile, the club is considering a potential second goalkeeper: there`s a chance for the 2006-born player.
While others are still on break, David De Gea is already putting in the work. The goalkeeper recently shared photos on his social media with the caption “Working hard,” sending a clear message that he intends to arrive at the training camp fully prepared.
Having extended his contract until 2027, De Gea is currently the highest-paid player in the squad and is increasingly positioning himself as a key leader for the team. In the goalkeeper department, attention is also being paid to the backup role. Last season, this position was held by Terracciano, but now the opportunity might go to Tommaso Martinelli.
Martinelli, born in 2006 (turning 18 around this time), is a player whose development path the club must carefully assess. The decision hinges on whether to promote him to the deputy position or send him out on loan to gain match experience. Coach Pioli`s input will be crucial in this choice.
Furthermore, among the promising young talents, 16-year-old Robert Corduneanu is also attracting attention. He recently had a trial at Viola Park and is a profile currently being monitored for the Primavera (youth) squad. News regarding Corduneanu comes from Romania; his agent, Florin Manea, enthusiastically described him as either a midfielder or a central defender.
