Former Tottenham Hotspur Stipe Pletikosa is understood to be close to a move to La Liga outfit Deportivo La Coruna.
According to reports in the Spanish media [as per Goal], the veteran keeper—who is currently a free agent—is on the brink of signing for the Brancoazuis.
While 36-year-old Pletikosa, who left FC Rostov earlier this year, will surely be delighted to earn a new contract, reports indicate that the stopper has his eyes on a place in Croatia’s Euro 2016 squad as he hopes to add to his 114 caps, and will not be content to just be a backup option at the Spanish side.
Pletikosa is also considering offers from the United States, but may well be tempted by a first foray into the Spanish top flight. Deportivo have lost Agosto to a broken leg, and Pletikosa will surely fancy his chances of making the starting lineup ahead of either German Lux or Manu.
