#4 De Gea’s value

The Don of the Red Devils

After his heroics against Tottenham, where he saved everything that was thrown at him, the value of David De Gea has skyrocketed according to football finance expert Kieran Maguire.

Speaking to Daily Star, he stated that in the current trend of football, where clubs are not hesitant to pay huge amounts for a goalkeeper, the Spaniard’s value is in the same region as that of Alisson and Ederson, quoting a number of £70 to £80 million.

“What we’ve seen in the transfer market over the last 12 to 18 months is that clubs have truly started to appreciate how many points goalkeepers are worth.

“You look at the recruitment of Ederson and Alisson, David de Gea is definitely in that value. So if anybody does come in for him, it’s realistically only Real Madrid and he’s going to cost them £70m to £80m.”
