David de Gea is now available as a free agent following his departure from Manchester United. Reports in Spain suggest that Carlo Ancelotti is not in favour of signing him to replace Thibaut Courtois for Real Madrid.
Courtois suffered a cruciate ligament injury during a training session on Thursday that will require surgery and keep him out for the majority of the upcoming campaign. It has been suggested that Madrid's hierarchy have considered De Gea as a replacement, but Ancelotti is said to be unconvinced and would 'veto' the signing.
Sevilla goalkeeper Bono is reportedly at the top of Madrid's shortlist, although they face the potential of losing him to the Africa Cup of Nations in January. Valencia's Giorgi Mamardashvili is also on the list after impressing in La Liga last season.
De Gea is still searching for a new club after being unable to agree a new deal with Manchester United after 12 seasons. United have since moved to replace him by signing Andre Onana from Inter last month for £47.2 million.
