Real Madrid turn to Arrizabalaga as angry Mourinho rejects De Gea attempt

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is ready to end his personal pursuit of Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea.

Florentino appears ready to back Keylor Navas this season - and instead sign cover for the Costa Rica international.

Athletic Bilbao keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, Spain's first-choice U21 shot-stopper, has popped up on Real's radar.

Bilbao are desperate not to lose Kepa, however, after allowing Gorka Iraizoz. But the decision could be taken out of their hands if Real meet Kepa's €30m buyout clause.

Meanwhile, it's been revealed Jose Mourinho has shut the door on De Gea moving to Real after Florentino's antics during negotiations for Alvaro Morata.
