Following the heartbreaking news of Thibaut Courtois suffering an ACL injury which is set to sideline for almost the entirety of the season, Real Madrid are prepared to enter the market for a new goalkeeper, reports Fabrizio Romano to SportsFila.

De Gea has established himself as a legend at Manchester United and is now available for free after spending over a decade in England, with his contract expiring this summer. However, his past allegiances with Atletico Madrid might be an issue.

De Gea Struggles to Find a New Club After Leaving United

Carlo Ancelotti is not in favour of Real Madrid signing former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea to replace Thibaut Courtois, according to reports in Spain.

Kepa still has two years left on his contract at Chelsea, but could be open to the possibility of an exit considering that the Blues recently signed a new goalkeeper in Robert Sanchez, which could hamper the former’s chances of being a regular starter.

Madrid have been forced to enter the market for a new goalkeeper after Courtois suffered a cruciate ligament injury during a training session on Thursday.

The 31-year-old is due to undergo surgery and is expected to miss the majority of the upcoming campaign.

According to Cadena COPE, De Gea has been considered by Madrid’s hierarchy, however, Ancelotti is unconvinced by United’s former goalkeeper and would ‘veto’ the signing, even as a free transfer.

The 32-year-old was unable to agree a new deal with United after 12 seasons at Old Trafford.

United have since replaced De Gea by signing Andre Onana in a £47.2 million deal from Inter last month.

Louis Saha has backed Manchester United’s new signing Andre Onana to ‘shut down’ critics as he names the goalkeeper as the signing of the summer for Premier League clubs.

Onana, 27, joined from Inter Milan last month to replace the departed David de Gea, who left Old Trafford at the expiry of his contract after 12 years with the club.

The former Ajax goalkeeper was the exact man that Erik ten Hag wanted – the pair worked together for five years in Amsterdam and he offers the ball-playing abilities that De Gea lacked.

Manchester City miss İlkay Gündoğan’s leadership as İlkay Gündoğan gives Man Utd Premier League Title Boost

Gündoğan being set to leave Manchester City for Barcelona and Mateo Kovacic leaving Chelsea to join Pep Guardiola’s side in their hopes of repeating the treble.

For the second year running, Manchester City’s captain has left the club. It happened twice in the previous three seasons, and others have used a dwindling contract to leave on a free transfer.

United or Arsenal: Who CAN win the Premier League title first?

City like to play ahead, tying down key players to long-term contracts wherever possible. That isn’t possible for some players though, especially the older ones in the squad, who may want to keep their options open with one final big contract in mind.

As for Barcelona, they’re getting a player who’s currently in his peak even though he’s 32 years old, but in recent seasons, Ilkay Gundogan has played the best football of his career for Manchester City and he’s going into a Barcelona midfield that’s already world class and many can question his role whether he starts or comes off the bench, but surely he has to get into that team.

He’s a player who is technical and has shown his goalscoring prowess he adds something different to this Barcelona team from midfield, and the likes of Pedri and Gavi are undroppable and you boast Frenkie De Jong as well, they might look for a Sergio Busquets replacement because Ilkay Gundogan is playing further forward whether he starts or not and that’s his best role for Barcelona.

Man Utd Fans React to Man City Champions League Success

They’re getting not just a quality player, but someone who has loads of experience at the highest level, and is a leader and in this young team, Barcelona need veterans like him and serial winners too. Loss for Manchester City, but a big gain for Barcelona and there can be people questioning whether it was necessary for them to sign Ilkay Gundogan but given the form he’s in, he’s a player who’ll fit right in at Barcelona.

Manchester City Wins Premier League title for 3rd straight season

Ilkay Gundogan leaving Manchester City for Barcelona is a shock to many, but it’s been expected for months.

Yes, they just won the treble and he was so so crucial to that team but he’s 32 years old, has won everything there is to win at Manchester City and when Barcelona come calling, I don’t blame him for turning them down and they’ll miss him big time. Mateo Kovacic is an excellent midfielder who on his day is really good, but SportsFila.com is not convinced with his consistency.

During his time at Real Madrid, he wasn’t bad but was a sporadic player there, and not his fault because Toni Kroos Luka Modric and Casemiro were in their peaks, at Chelsea he’s gotten more game time and has had great moments there but is very injury prone and can be average at times and he was often in and out of the starting lineup. In my opinion, Mateo Kovacic is a big downgrade on Ilkay Gundogan but with his box to box qualities and the energy he brings to a midfield, Manchester City will sort things out with him and see what he offers in their team

Manchester City to repeat another treble next season?

Gundogan will be a huge miss at City. He is result drivenand his football intelligence is amazing, very similar to Steven Gerard’s. He’s a match winner and a leader every manager can rely on. He singlehandedly stopped the 2021/22 PL title from going to Anfield. No Liverpool fan would forget this guy in a hurry. A player whose later football years are ironically far better than his prime. What a player. Barca are lucky to have him.

All Kroos said about Hazard was that big money doesn’t always mean big success, simple. It’s not necessarily a warning shot to Bellingham. I think Toni it’s only trying to slam Hazard as fans feel he was too lazy at Madrid.

Madrid terminates Hazard contract: Should United Sign Him?

Just a typical ego attitude, Toni is just letting him know what’s expected of him. Both Kroos and Modric are perfectionists and they expect that from everyone. Nothing wrong with it.

Kroos opens up on Hazard: “I think everyone would say in retrospect: it was not a good signing

Don’t see anything wrong with what Kroos said. Look at the players who have cost in that £100m range. There is a lot of flops there. Few if any have been outright successes. And by outright I mean a player being a success from both individual and team level.

ESpn pundit Craig Burley might call Kroos naive but the only one naive here is Craig. Jude isn’t the only young player to have made a big move for such a high price. Have we already forgotten Joao Felix and Dembele? Or even Coutinho to some extent? Like the lad but for that price tag and the jersey he will wear, he will be tested like he has never been tested before. And no one will care about how well he speaks, dresses or his journey from Birmingham if he stinks on the football pitch. Time will tell if he can overcome adversity because he will face it now. He might be subbed or benched for poor performances. Sections of the media will attack his performances. His reaction to situations like that will really show us what he is made off.

Jude Bellingham, given what we’ve seen at Dortmund and England, he put in consistent performances for club and country, he’s reaching that next step in becoming a global superstar and he is one given what’s he achieved individually at such a young age, and more of the same is expected of him at Real Madrid and due to the money they paid for him, it’s a lot of pressure, he won’t let that get to his head hopefully because he’s so so talented and I hope he succeeds there because he has all the tools required for Real Madrid, they did their homework on him, he’s a hard worker, gives it his all, he’s there to fight for the badge and he’s there for passion and not money/big salaries/paycheck it’s all about your career.

Eden Hazard and Philippe Coutinho Are the Biggest La Liga Flops

Toni Kroos appears to aim dig at Eden Hazard for Real Madrid in warning to Jude Bellingham

Eden was arguably one of the best players in world football at the time, but various injuries blighted his Real Madrid career.

Hazard scored just seven goals in four seasons for the club and has now left the club a year before his deal was due to expire, SportsFila.com early reported on the Belgian flop’s exit.

On Wednesday it was announced the Jude Bellingham has signed for Madrid in a deal that could rise to £115million.

The 19-year-old has shined early on in his career so far and is expected to elevate his game even further.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid 2-0 Champions League Semifinal 2nd Leg 2021

This is what Madrid is about the way Kroos thinks. You can’t come here and settle in thinking you have won your spot. You earn it and you have to work hard for it. Hazard thought he would do the same as he did with Chelsea. He was doing okay in the beginning but Vini worked hard and took Hazard out for good. Hazard didn’t want to fight for that position and improve and Vini did so that’s what he means. You need to have heart to play for Madrid. That’s why these commentators don’t know what it is to be a Madridista and never giving up. That’s why we have some of the most legendary comebacks.

Kroos thought Benzema would retire at Madrid

Benzema: “These decisions depend on yourself. There are also circumstances that contribute to a decision. I think he came to Real when he was 20 or 21 years old. What he gave the club, the important goals he scored… last year was just the icing on the cake. There have been few forwards in the last 15 years who have used the ball like him, who have not limited themselves just to scoring. It was a great pleasure playing with him. There’s no doubt. Seeing a player like that for so many years was a joy.”

PlanetJohn:  “Eden hazard was a huge disappointment, had he been only 85% of the player he was in Chelsea while with Madrid the team could have really performed better, probably would have won another la liga in his tenure for sure. I’m excited for Jude Bellingham”.
