Real Madrid Transfer News: Los Blancos Reportedly Keen on Karlo Letica

Real Madrid are reportedly considering signing Hajduk Split goalkeeper Karlo Letica as an alternative to Manchester United's David De Gea and Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois to replace Keylor Navas this summer.

Marca's Jose Felix Diaz and Sarah Salahpour (h/t Nathan Salt of MailOnline) reported Letica has caught the eye thanks to his rapid development at Hajduk.

Salt noted how Los Blancos are confident of winning the race for the 21-year-old stopper, who has drawn favourable comparisons with Atletico Madrid 'keeper Jan Oblak. Salt also detailed the more cost-effective nature of opting to sign Letica:

"Letica would also represent a much more economical deal with Courtois or De Gea, who both have a market value which would be a world record for a goalkeeper—Manchester City's Ederson is the current record at £34.
