In recent days, rumours have been circulating about a potential move of David De Gea to Genoa.
However, the latest updates reported by Sky Sports UK are far from encouraging.
The English outlet explains that the negotiations have hit a significant snag.
Sources close to the matter have revealed that the deal, which seemed imminent, has now faced unexpected complications.
One insider stated to Sky Sports UK, “There were high hopes on both sides, but certain financial aspects couldn’t be agreed upon.”
The exact nature of these financial disagreements has not been disclosed, but it is understood that they are substantial enough to stall the talks.
De Gea, who has been without a club since leaving Manchester United, was seen as a high-profile signing for the Serie A club.
The Spanish goalkeeper had been linked to various clubs across Europe, but Genoa appeared to be the most serious contender for his signature.
Genoa’s management has yet to release any official statement regarding the current status of the negotiations.
Fans will now have to wait and see if the two parties can reach a compromise or if De Gea’s future lies elsewhere.
Sky Sports UK will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
For now, it seems that the prospect of De Gea donning the Genoa jersey remains uncertain.
