#4 Real Madrid have alternative targets
Trending
Even supposing Zidane decides that he needs a new number 1 to replace or compete with Keylor Navas, it is questionable whether De Gea really is the best choice.
Eight years younger, more than an inch taller and with a stockier frame, Gianluigi Donnarumma is the name on everyone's lips. Having announced that he would not renew his contract with Milan, there is no lack of suitors for him.
With just one year left on his contract, he could be available at a much cheaper price than De Gea. Real Madrid might even choose to play the waiting game and sign him on a free next summer.
In any case, it is clear the stardust accompanying a potential Donnarumma deal will not be any less than that for De Gea – and that too for a goalkeeper who could quite conceivably serve Madrid for two decades.
