Real Madrid are planning a bid for Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, according to reports in the UK.
The Daily Mirror claims Los Blancos are still in search for a long-term successor to Iker Casillas despite the signing of Keylor Navas in the summer.
Casillas has won his place back in the side after 18 months in the wilderness towards the end of Jose Mourinho’s reign and the start of Carlo Ancelotti’s. But he has faced criticism from the Spanish press and fans alike in recent months for what some consider to be some below par performances.
The Mirror reported the 10-time Champions League winners could make a 30-million-euro bid for Lloris in January but would be happy to wait until the summer should Spurs not be willing to negotiate in the winter transfer window.
The France number one has impressed for his current club since his arrival from Lyon and has made 73 appearances in the Premier League to date. He is believed to be concerned at the lack of progress at the club though, with the north London side consistently failing to break into the top four and challenge for major honours.
Should Los Blancos get their man, he would be the third high profile player to leave White Hart Lane for the Santiago Bernabeu, following in the footsteps of Luka Modric and Gareth Bale.
