David De Gea, a star goalkeeper, has left his $3.85 mιllιon villa in China, igniting speculation about a possible transfer to Real Madrid.
The expansive five-bedroom luxury residence, which includes a tennis court enclosed in glass and an outdoor pool, was initially put up for sale in April and has fueled more rumors about De Gea’s future.
Real Madrid could take advantage of the fact that Manchester United is expressing interest in Alvaro Morata to entice De Gea back to Spain.
The Spanish player has been a long-term target for the club and they are willing to pay a premium to capture his services. He nearly signed with Real Madrid in 2015.
De Gea may find it difficult to resist the draw of going back to Spain as he considers his path from an Atletico Madrid fan to a star for Manchester United.
