JAKARTA - Real Madrid are now experiencing a goalkeeper crisis. Their main goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, had to enter the treatment room due to an ACL injury in his left knee.

Currently, Real Madrid only have two main goalkeepers registered in the first team. Apart from Courtois, El Real has one goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.

Of course it's risky to just rely on Lunin even though it's quality that can't be underestimated. The reason is, Los Blancos will compete in a number of competitions.

The management of the Spanish League club moved quickly. Madrid is rumored to be holding talks to bring former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Reporting from The Sun, Friday, August 11, Real Madrid is in communication with De Gea. There is a possibility of bringing the player in the transfer market this summer.

As is known, De Gea, who is currently agent-free after not extending his contract with Manchester United last June. Of course De Gea will be a possible replacement option under the crossbar for Los Blancos.

The 32-year-old goalkeeper has also just turned down an offer from Inter Milan who wants him to be a replacement for Andre Onana who joined Manchester United.

Apart from De Gea, Real Madrid is also monitoring the situation of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, reported by Antara. However, Real Madrid must also prepare to compete with Bayern Munich who is targeting Kepa as an option to replace the injured goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Previously, De Gea almost joined Real Madrid in the 2015 season. However, the transfer from the Spanish goalkeeper to Real Madrid had to fail because the Fatasimile document was late at the deadline for the transfer market.
