5 players Real Madrid could sign as the next 'Galactico'

#3 David de Gea (Manchester United)

A return home for de Gea could be a catastrophe for Man Utd.

David de Gea is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment. He has been outstanding for the Red Devils over the past few seasons, producing some astonishing performances week-in-week-out, but a move to Real Madrid could define his place in history and place him among all time greats.

The United No. 1 is excellent in dealing with long-range shots and his remarkable reflexes and ability to stop the ball with his feet in one on one situations are certainly unmatched.

The Spaniard arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 2011 with loads of expectations, having been earmarked as a potential long-term successor for Edwin Van der Saar, with even Sir Alex famously missing a game to go and watch him play but apart from some early criticism, has gone from strength to strength and produced several awe-inspiring performances over the years.

Real Madrid has long been admirers of the 27-year-old and is on the lookout to replace Keylor Navas. The prospect of winning the Champions League and being the undisputed No.1 for Los Blancos, in addition to Manchester City's performances this season who look set to dominate Premier League in the near future could tempt de Gea to move to the Spanish capital and become the first Galactico goalkeeper.
