Real Madrid have earmarked Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon as a potential replacement for under-fire Thibaut Courtois, who has come under severe criticism throughout his time in the Spanish capital.
Courtois joined Los Blancos in the summer of 2018 after finally sealing a move away from Chelsea in order to be closer to his children, who live in Madrid, but has struggled to make a significant impact since his £31.5m move.
After selling Keylor Navas to Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of £13.5m this summer - which included Alphonse Areola joining Madrid on a season-long loan - Courtois has taken up the role of the club's first-choice goalkeeper, but has failed to convince in between the sticks.
