This will remain a rumor in my opinion. Oblak is doing very fine at Atletico Madrid and he is a keeper that I’m sure Atletico Madrid will not want to sell now for anything. Unless if and only if, Oblak has interest in playing for Manchester United and he has been given a good offer. Come to think of it again, why would Manchester United go for a keeper of that age and add to Onana that is already with them?

I feel it would have been better for them to get a younger goalkeeper than they can groom for many years to come in the club, just like the case of De Gea who have left them now recently. Signing Oblak will cost them a lot seeing that he already signed a new contract with his current club which shows how loyal he is and this will pose a lot of competitive disadvantage to Onana who is already their number one goalkeeper. I just have a strong feeling that this is just a rumor and such will not happen.

Leaks claim that Ronaldo is trying to convince De Gea to join Al-Nasr. Another confirmation that De Gea remains a top goalkeeper (Ronaldo will definitely not take the initiative in some matters that will be at a loss to him and I trust Ronaldo’s opinion more than Ten Hag). I would be glad if such a transition took place - Al-Nasr, in terms of squad, would already be closer to a good club from Europe than from Saudi Arabia.

De Gea should not get retired yet. We saw good performances from him in the last season when he was playing for Manchester United and even Manchester United fans are complaining about Onana because they think De Gea could perform much better than Onana, which is not wrong.
De Ge can play in top European teams for years and I think he should not consider joining the Saudi teams.

I have started to see rumours regarding Manchester United and Oblak. It seems like they are interested in bringing him to the team. However I believe this is going to be very difficult for them. He has already a contract until 2028 with the team. He must have signed this contract newly which shows his loyalty to his team.

Besides Atletico Madrid would also not like to lose one of their most valuable players. Oblak is still a great goalkeeper. I don't see any reason for Oblak to choose to join Manchester United now either. Atletico Madrid are in much better condition now.

Well this is what I think for Napoli Spalletti departure is quite a big loss and now Spalletti has become the coach of the Italian national team and Spalletti's departure has also resulted in a decline in Napoli performance which is now being coached by Rudi Garcia.
We can really see Rudi Garcia performance when he has coached for two seasons for Napoli and if in these two seasons there is no development and achievements achieved by Napoli then it is clear that Rudi Garcia is not the right and suitable coach to replace Spalletti.

Moreover bringing in Rudi Garcia also takes up quite a large salary budget during his stay at Napoli and if there is no significant development provided by Rudi Garcia then Napoli will experience several financial losses and also fail to remain as the top team in the Italian League.

I agree that Antonio Conte could be Napoli first choice if they want to replace Rudi Garcia as coach, but Antonio Conte will never be interested in becoming Napoli coach.

To be honest, there are advantages for Milan if Donnarumma returns, because Maignan's condition is currently prone to injury, maybe it would be better if Donnarumma returned. But, as I said before, this would be a loss for Milan, if PSG carried out this swap by asking the Rossoneri to pay a certain amount of money for the deal. Regarding Milan's interest, the potential still open, but I agree with you, Donnarumma could be considered a traitor by Milan fans, because when he decided to refuse a contract extension, Maldini and Milan had done everything with the limited money the club had to ensure he stayed at San Siro. Unfortunately, the young player's ego won out, and he left.

Remaining 8 points left from top standings position Inter Milan seems not bad achievement for Napoli in this season under Rudi Garcia tactician and Napoli can't winning last three matches in a row on domestic league. Seems not good replacement for Napoli after leaving by Spaletti and Rudi Garcia difficult with quit well start in domestic league with current standing dropped to 7th position. For Napoli players composition not change drastically because still have Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and still underperformance have played 4 matches with one assist and not scoring goals yet.

Right now, Antonio Conte is free agent and not become as head coach on any one club, seems excited if joining with Napoli although too early for sacking Rudi Garcia from his position.

With the way things are going in the club currently i don't think they'll be able to defend the Scudetto, the team looks balanced but there's no team spirit among them and if you notice how Oshimen got angry at the coach for taking him off, i feel there might be a dressing situation ongoing, it's annoying working so hard but having nothing to prove your hard work, that's what happened to Napoli yesterday, if only Oshimen was really focused and scored the penalty yesterday it would had help calm the situation and ease alot of pressure including boosting their confidence to score more goals.

 Bringing Conte won't be a bad idea, cause he's alot better than Garcia and got good experience with a better winning mentality in the Serie A as well, and i hope they realise this early before it gets very late, cause i don't think they'll be any better with Garcia this season.

Looking at the results achieved by Napoli so far, it is not impressive because Rudi Garcia is not a suitable replacement for Spalletti. I feel that it is now even difficult for Napoli to defend the Scudetto and if they continue like this it will certainly not be a good thing for them in the future. Moreover, in last night's match against Bologna, Victor Osimhen was seen to be very annoyed with coach Rudi Garcia when he pulled him off the field. This proves that the relationship between coaches and players is starting to become less harmonious at Napoli and it is possible that Victor Osimhen will leave next winter if Napoli does not immediately make the right decision.

Antonio Conte is an Italian coach and he certainly knows better what Italian clubs need in the competition. There is no harm in choosing Antonio Conte as an alternative if Napoli is less consistent this season.

At the moment, the news about De Gea is still confusing where when looking at some of the media reporting at the moment, most of them become forked where some say that he will retire, after that there is news from Ronaldo who invites to Al Nassr and Real Betis club comes as one of the clubs that want to bring De Gea as for Al Hilal I have not read the news.

This is clearly confusing where the media seems to do a lot of nanipulation with the news just for their traffic to go up but on the other hand it is also their job and what they are aiming for.

At the moment, we just have to wait to see how this plays out because at the end of the day, the final decision will be up to De Gea himself.

this is just a rumor which does not mean its true and if I look at it from my point of view, it looks like De Gea is looking for the attention of a top team to give them sympathy to sign this player. actually its really not good like begging to get a big team from Europe but this effort seems like a threat to me but in any case the top teams not care about it as long as all the big teams know De Gea current performance is a little bad they not bring in this player for their team.

If there is a top team that ends up bringing in De Gea to add to their line up I think it will only be as a reserve goalkeeper or only with a very small salary offer but De Gea will definitely accept the offer because he not want to leave a big European team. and if we link De Gea with a team from the SPL, it is possible that currently there are no rumors about an Arab team offering to get him but we dont know if later after the transfer market opens they will make an offer to him if De Gea refuses. I think he has a problem in his best choice.

Saudi Arabian club will offering huge money for De Gea if he want to moved but De Gea doesn't want it because he said money isn't everything for him although the rumour is Ronaldo was attempts to persuade him but apparently De Gea will strong with his decision that he doesn't want to playing at Saudi Arabian clubs and actually De Gea demand is quite simple because all what he want is those who want to using his service they have to ensure that he will being an first goalkeeper on that team and not as substitution player and if those club can fulfill his demand then De Gea will be willing to move to that club and this is also the causes why he refuse Bayern Munich few months ago because De Gea doesn't want to being an the substitution player for Manuel Neuer

It is the age factor that has made European clubs no longer so interested in De Gea. Even though there were actually several offers from European clubs in the transfer market yesterday. It's just that all these offers don't seem to be attractive offers for De Gea. Because De Gea still feels he has good enough performance to be the main goalkeeper at a pretty good club. I've also heard news about De Gea being linked with Real Betis. But I didn't hear any further news about this. Which means it's probably just a rumor. Maybe we will find the answer when the transfer market opens again in the middle of the season.

I believe De Gea will just retired since no club as come for him this season, because I don't see any clubs interested in signing him, because he has already lost form this season, which is why Manchester United did not renew his contract with them, and he has stated that he does not want to play in the Saudi league, even though I am confident that he can perform there if he does, because I believe Ronaldo is trying to confuse him into playing in Saudi so that he can enjoy his life there, Because I do not believe any of the finest clubs in European competition will want to sign De Gea next season, I feel he should just go to Saudi league and continue his career there because he is already an elderly man and many elite players are already in Saudi league.

De gea can move to Saudi Arabia with his family and continue playing there because it will be difficult for him to find the best club to stay with. I am sure Ronaldo will help him because he has already faced all of these challenges in the European competition with Manchester United, and I don't think Man U can bring De Gea back to the team. And if De Gea gets a club, I'm sure his wags won't be much as Manchester United, and if he agrees to stay in the Saudi league, I'm sure his income will be high and he'll enjoy himself and his family there.

It's saddened me if de gea has been approached by many clubs but it's clearly said that if money was not his motivation

There is also another reason like what explained by this

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12541039/Why-David-Gea-club-desire-live-popstar-wife-ruled-Saudi-Arabia-Spanish-clubs-arent-looking-save-makers-wage-demands-NOT-issue-Man-United-exit.html

De gea is ruled out the chance to play for non european club due to his wife. I do understand if this is really pain for his fans but de gea was only willing to play in what his wife may approve it.
He was not getting zero offers from other clubs but he was not willing to play in the club that didn't make him feel understood. Too many requirements from him.

Donnarumma has not been performing at his best. Currently, as you said that definitely is going to discourage any club from taking him. There is no way this trade should happen if we think about the current form. The quality of both players can be the same. But the form is definitely different for both of them right now. I do not think Donnarumma has the same kind of capability right now, as a goalkeeper when compared to Maignan. It is definitely going to be a bad trade for Milan. I hope they are not going to do that trade at all. But I believe if PSG actually adds some money, you actually never know. Probably it might end up happening. But so far, I do not see any true interest from Milan, to be honest.

Ronaldo is now trying to convince him to join in al nassr. I think that de gea shall not be so harsh with his decision. Playing in SPL is not that bad for him to be honest. Even so many great players are feeling so happy to play there.
De gea needs to put it on his consideration. He must try to decrease his ego in playing on european team right now as none of them were coming for him. Ronaldo has a good intention to saves his career.
De gea shall try to understand it. Playing in SPL is far better rather than announcing his retirement from the football. He can still at least get new experience playing in the saudi pro league.

Like I've said before now, David De Gea is yet to get a club not because he's not receiving good offers from different top clubs but because he's not getting good offers from big European clubs that he'll want to play for.
De Gea believes that his time in playing European football isn't yet over and that's why he's rejecting any offer from non European clubs including Saudi Arabian clubs. He might not get offers from his desired clubs at the moment but I think he believes that it's better to remain without a club than leaving European football.

David is just wasting as a free Agent without no Club coming to for his demand yet, what a very good goalie, I wish he'll retrace his statement and consider moving to the Saudi Pro League where he could get some playing time and keep himself busy because being without a club means he might not keep for a very long time and that could make him decline in form.

 It's a  good thing Manchester United are suffering for their actions, because their new goalie is not close to  David De Gea when it comes to savings, he's already conceded 14 goals in 8 matches and only 3 clean sheets with 2 yellow cards, and most of the goals conceded where due to his reckless mistakes, I don't think David De Gea would love to go back to United due to the embarrassing way they treated him.

De Gea's refusal to join the SPL team, Al Hilal, after they expressed interest in him leads me to believe that it does not make sense from his perspective. Even if he had intended to play in Europe, he should have examined the options to see where he could settle in Europe as opposed to the SPL. Even though his form has declined significantly, he is not a bad goalkeeper.  He should have joined them in SPL because they value him more there than he does currently in Europe.
