Real Madrid is currently exploring goalkeeper options in light of Thibaut Courtois' ACL injury, and they have made contact with David De Gea's representatives.
David De Gea is now available as a free agent after leaving Manchester United this summer.
In addition to De Gea, Real Madrid is also assessing the situation of Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Chelsea goalkeeper is a prime target for Bayern Munich in a loan-to-buy deal.
Thibaut Courtois, the Belgian international goalkeeper, suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee during a training session and is scheduled to undergo surgery in the coming days.
The 31-year-old player has made over 200 appearances for the club since joining from Chelsea in August 2018. While Courtois has often been the first-choice goalkeeper in the Spanish capital, David De Gea could be a potential replacement in the future.
David De Gea recently left Old Trafford after spending 12 seasons with Manchester United, amassing a total of 545 appearances, making him the goalkeeper with the most appearances in the club's history.
He also broke Manchester United's record held by Peter Schmeichel for the most clean sheets in a season and registered a total of 190 clean sheets across all competitions.
