David de Gea Secures Contract Extension with Fiorentina Until 2026
Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea has reached a verbal agreement with Fiorentina to extend his contract until 2026, following a series of impressive performances that have solidified his role as a key player for the Italian club.
Fiorentina continues its remarkable journey in Serie A, celebrating an eighth consecutive victory with a recent triumph over Cagliari. Central to this success is the resurgence of David de Gea, the Spanish goalkeeper who, after nearly a year away from football, has delivered outstanding performances since joining the Florence-based club.
Initially signing a one-year contract last summer, de Gea's contributions have prompted Fiorentina's management to pursue a longer commitment. According to reports from Italian media, the club and de Gea have reached a 'gentleman's agreement' to extend his contract until the summer of 2026. This informal understanding, highly respected in European football, indicates a mutual commitment to formalize the extension in the coming days.
The new agreement is expected to significantly increase de Gea's salary, reflecting his value to the team and the confidence Fiorentina places in his abilities. This development marks a significant turnaround for de Gea, who many believed had reached the twilight of his career, yet he has proven his enduring quality and resilience.
