Arsenal have submitted a £14m offer for veteran Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas, according to reports.
The 32-year-old has hinted he is ready to leave the Bernabeu after losing his first-team place to Thibaut Courtois and the Spanish media has suggested he could be on the move this month.
Navas posted a picture with Real Madrid fans on Instagram with the caption ‘Thanks for everything!’.
As now, Sport – via the Daily Mirror – claim the Gunners have submitted an offer of £14million to Real to sign the experienced Costa Rican keeper.
Arsenal, it seems, have doubts over the long-term reliability of summer signing Bernd Leno and director of football Sven Mislintat and manager Unai Emery now believe Navas could prove a top-class replacement for Petr Cech.
The Gunners, however, may not get their own way in the race to sign Navas, with Roma also eyeing up the former Levante keeper.
David Ospina’s loan move to Napoli meanwhile, will be made into a permanent £2.5m deal this month, rather than in the summer, according to reports in Italy, with the money part-funding the swoop for Navas.
