The Catalan press love nothing more than having a go at Real Madrid and their president Florentino Perez, and Wednesday’s edition of Sport mocks the club’s attempts to find a long term goalkeeper.
Titling their article ‘Fifty shades of Casillas’, Sport explain how options have come and gone and still Real Madrid don’t have a goalkeeper considered good enough.
It’s perhaps a little unfair on Keylor Navas, who must have stopped reading the Spanish sport press some time ago, tired of learning how little his value is perceived.
Tottenham have an interest in the article as Hugo Lloris is named as one of the options, but Sport take joy in telling Madrid they’ve no chance of getting him from Spurs.
Real Madrid like Lloris, claim Sport, but they say he’s never been close to leaving Tottenham. He’s happy with Mauricio Pochettino, something the Frenchman has himself made clear repeatedly.
Given all of that, Lloris to Madrid ‘does not seem like a real option’
