After leaving Manchester United at the end of June, goalkeeper David de Gea may finally have found his next team.
According to Fichajes, LALIGA side Real Betis see the opportunity to sign the shot-stopper as one they simply cannot miss.

The 32-year-old is believed to have received a host of offers from various clubs around the world, including those in Saudi Arabia, but is said to have rejected their advances in favour of making a return to Spain.
Betis are reported to be hard at work in trying to complete his signing, but face competition from Valencia, who are also in the market for a goalkeeper.
They had initially made a move to sign former FC Barcelona and Manchester City star Claudio Bravo, but that move fell through, and are now hoping to seal the ex-Atletico Madrid's 'keeper's signature on a free deal.
Having won the Premier League's Golden Glove award last season after keeping 16 clean sheets and helping United to a third-place finish, many are surprised the Spain international still finds himself a free agent more than two months after leaving Old Trafford.
It is understood De Gea has been keeping sharp in this period by having individual, private training sessions as he decides what challenge he will undertake next.
