Daily Star Sport have revealed the Costa Rica stopper is determined to still be at the Santiago Bernabeu next season and hopes to displace current number one and Madrid captain Iker Casillas:

Arsene Wenger has been tipped to bring in a new number one after Wojciech Szczesny and David Ospina have both come in for criticism at times during the campaign and Chelsea stopper Petr Cech has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in recent weeks (via Mirror Sport).
United may need to invest in a new goalkeeper should David De Gea make the move to Madrid, which could open the door to a possible exchange deal between the two clubs.

“Rafa Benitez is a great Coach and I’ll be at his disposal if he arrives,” the 28-year-old revealed.
