1) Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)
A player who’d be a real Galactico signing in goal, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is probably the best player in the world in his position and would be a superb buy for Real if they could pull it off, though even they might struggle.
2) Thibaut Courtois (Chelsea)
Another of the very finest shot-stoppers on the planet at the moment, Real Madrid could revive their interest in Chelsea star Thibaut Courtois as an alternative to De Gea, with the Belgian on the Spanish giants’ radar in the past.
3) Hugo Lloris (Tottenham)
One of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, Tottenham star Hugo Lloris seems destined to play for a bigger club at some point, and Real could move for him as Manchester United’s interest will surely cool due to the De Gea new contract.
4) David Ospina (Arsenal)
A surprise choice perhaps, but Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina was linked with Real Madrid this summer and could be a smart choice after falling behind Petr Cech in the pecking order, despite some superb performances last season.
5) Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid)
A superbly promising young goalkeeper currently at Real’s rivals Atletico Madrid, Jan Oblak has been linked with Manchester United in recent times but could now be an option for Real if De Gea stays at Old Trafford.
