5 top goalkeepers Real Madrid could target to replace Keylor Navas

#2 Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea)

Courtois would represent an instant upgrade for Real

The Belgian goalkeeper has been perhaps the most linked goalie to Real Madrid and with his contract issues still unresolved at Chelsea, it might be a move that could suit the Whites.

The Belgian number one had a very productive three years at Real's city rivals; Atletico and is said to love living in Madrid.

Given the issues revolving around the Blues with Roman Abramovich's visa issues, the is-he-staying-or-going issues with Antonio Conte and the general chaos around the club, the rumors of his departure have continued to grow.

Undoubtedly one of the pre-eminent goalies in world football, the 26-year-old has all the attributes of a world-class goalie and would provide an instant upgrade to Navas.

Agile, good with his hands and feet, brilliant at crosses and starting counterattacks with his throws and passing, Courtois' presence in goal could be a big boost for Real's defence. This would encourage the fullbacks to push forward even more and help in overloading the attack.

It is unclear how much Chelsea will demand with the player entering the last year of his contract next season. Real's president Perez, would look to avoid a repeat of the Kepa situation and may make his move soon.
