Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

David de Gea is a 35-year-old goalkeeper at Fiorentina, rated 31.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 103rd of 115 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (97.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Gea.

Judged on this season alone, Gea graded 26 — a strong campaign that ranks top 24% of the 30 goalkeepers in the Serie A, on 10 clean sheets across 37 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 26 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 27th of 30 of the 30 goalkeepers in the Serie A. At 35 Gea is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8 reflects that trajectory.

10 clean sheets in 37 appearances (27% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (15th of 20) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 97.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.4, Gea carries the 27th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Serie A of 30, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Fiorentina finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
