Vicente Guaita is the first-choice goalkeeper at Crystal Palace, with Sam Johnstone providing him cover. Joe Whitworth and Owen Goodman are the other two stoppers in the squad.
The 36-year-old joined the Eagles for free in 2018 and has been a regular for them since the start of 2019.
Crystal Palace handed a new contract to Guaita last month and his deal is until 2024, but that has not stopped the Premier League side from looking at another player in the same position for the summer window.
Fichajes.net state Patrick Vieira’s side have set their sights on Getafe goalkeeper David Soria, who has kept six clean sheets and conceded 28 goals from 21 league matches this season.
The 29-year-old has a contract expiring in June and except for a surprise, he will leave the La Liga side as a free agent after this season. This has alerted clubs in England and Spain, but only Crystal Palace get a mention.
It’s claimed Crystal Palace ‘want to repeat the formula’ that they used in signing Guaita to secure Soria’s services in the next window.
In other words, the London club are looking to sign the current Getafe stopper for free.
