Real are poised to make a sensational transfer from an Italian top club

The future of the goalkeeping position at Real Madrid is not certain, as Thibaut Courtois' understudy Andriy Lunin is set to leave the team. And this is where a very star name could emerge at the Santiago Bernabeu.

According to TEAMtalk, the Madrid club are ready to consider buying Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan. It is believed that Real Madrid have asked for information on the terms under which the purchase could take place.

Madrid are ready to fulfil the financial requirements of the goalkeeper himself with a salary of 7-8 million euros per season, as well as the very project that is being built at Real is attracting the Frenchman.

He himself does not want to extend his contract with Milan, which is now until the summer of 2026, which may push the ‘rossoneri’ to say goodbye to Maignan, so as not to miss the opportunity to make money on him.

But it may not come to a transfer if Courtois continues to show good form, with Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen also on the Madrid club's radar.
