Real Madrid eye Athletic Bilbao ace Kepa as David de Gea cut-price alternative

Keylor Navas is under increasing pressure at Real Madrid and Florentino Perez wants to give him the bullet.

The president’s first choice remains David de Gea and he is also keeping track of Jan Oblak, Thibaut Courtois and Gianluigi Donnarumma.

But Marca claim Real are hoping to snap up Kepa from Bilbao, who will be available on a free at the end of the season.

The 22-year-old Spain youth keeper has impressed in La Liga and is being touted as a future Spain No.1.

But with the man in his way De Gea in impressive form it may take a while to break in.

He has been offered a new deal at Athletic - with an increase in release clause from £9m to £57 showing how highly he is rated.

But he may opt to ride out his current contract and join Real on a free.

Perez is desperate to replace Navas and was furious with him this weekend.

The Madrid president wanted rid of him this summer but Zinedine Zidane refused to sell and insisted he would remain his first choice.

Zidane has huge faith in Navas but may have to bend for Perez who wants a new, younger goalkeeper between the sticks for next season.
