According to Sky Sports, Real Madrid have already contacted Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea after Thibaut Courtois’ serious injury occurred on Thursday.
The merengue club is looking for a replacement for the Belgian for the first months of the season.
Real Madrid will have to find a solution after the serious injury of Thibaut Courtois.
This Thursday, the Madrid club indicated that its Belgian goalkeeper suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee, which occurred during training.
Clearly, the Madrid first choice keeper will miss several months of the upcoming season.
Several tracks behind De Gea
Now, Carlo Ancelotti has only one goalkeeper in his professional group with Andriy Lunin. The Ukrainian will guard the cages of Real Madrid this Saturday, during the first day of La Liga where the Madrid will play on the lawn of Athletic Bilbao. But Lunin is not expected to start for the next few weeks.
According to Sky Sports, contacts have already been made with David De Gea, free of any contract since his departure on July 1 from Manchester United.
The 32-year-old Spaniard spent 12 years at Old Trafford, where he played for the Red Devils 545 times.
La Cas Blanca would also have other options starting with the Spaniard Kepa, who has a release clause at Chelsea but Bayern Munich are already ahead to get him.
The Spanish press are reporting other names to play as a substitute pending the return of Thibaut Courtois.
Georgian international Giorgi Mamardashvili, who plays for Valencia, and Moroccan international Bono, Sevilla FC goalkeeper, are notably mentioned.
For its part, the Cadena Cope speaks of a possible return of Keylor Navas, who returned this summer to PSG after a loan to Nottingham Forest.
