Real Madrid‘s pursuit of a keeper to replace poor Keylor Navas has stretched over years – now it is understood that World Cup winner Hugo Lloris is a fresh transfer target.

Thibaut Courtois has been the name on everyone’s lips where Real is concerned – with the Chelsea keeper entering the last year of his contract – but the La Liga club are confident of snapping up Lloris for £60 million, according to The Sun.

Though Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is loath to give up any of his star men, that sum for a 31-year-old keeper is likely to prick up his ears.

Liverpool splurged £66.9m on Brazil No1 Alisson last week, almost doubling the previous record for a keeper set by countryman Ederson last year when moving to Manchester City.

Should buying Belgium’s Courtois prove troublesome then Lloris does indeed seem a viable option – given that long-term target David De Gea agreed a fresh contract with Manchester United last month.
