Athletic Bilbao have got the best defence in the whole of La Liga together with Atletico Madrid. The Basques have largely got Unai Simon in the goal to thank for this.
As a result, Real Madrid have got their eyes on the Athletic keeper, according to 'El Desmarque'. His good performances and the fact Real's goalkeeping department is not the best has led to their interest.
Real Madrid will find it difficult to get one of the best upcoming keepers in the country. The thing is Unai Simon renewed at Athletic Bilbao even before he became the number one at the club. His buyout clause was also increased to 50 million euros.
With Areola not at Real Madrid next season and Courtois criticised for his performances, the team from the capital are looking for a keeper with safe hands to end the debate over who should be the Real shot stopper.
