Real Madrid will reportedly make back-up goalkeeper Kiko Casilla available for purchase in the January transfer window as they are closing in on signing Athletic Bilbao No. 1 Kepa Arrizabalaga.
According to Marca (via MailOnline's Jordan Seward), Casilla will be surplus to requirements after the capture of Kepa and will be moved on by Real, who have already made a number of clubs aware of his availability—Newcastle United are said to be "on high alert."
The report added Sergio Ramos has told Real team-mates the signing of Kepa, 23, has already been secured and his transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu is expected to be completed following the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup.
