Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has indicated he would be open to a move to Manchester United if David de Gea leaves for Real Madrid.
Lloris is reportedly on a United shortlist of possible replacements for De Gea, who is said to be considering his future with only one year left on his Old Trafford contract and Madrid keen on taking him back to Spain.
In comments carried in The Sun, Lloris said: "For the moment there is a goalkeeper at United and we are watchful of his situation. You have to keep a certain calm with all this.
"If things should happen then they'll happen naturally."
Lloris, 28, joined Spurs from Lyon in 2012 and has made 99 league appearances. He is under contract at White Hart Lane until 2019.
ANY NEWS ON DE GEA'S FUTURE?
There's a big rumour doing the rounds that De Gea has now officially informed United that he wants to leave the club for Real Madrid this summer. That comes from Goal, who report: "David De Gea has informed Manchester United that he wishes to join Real Madrid, Goal can reveal. The Red Devils must now determine whether to sell De Gea this summer or to hold the Spain international to the final year of his contract, losing him on a free transfer at the end of next season.
The attraction of playing for Spain's biggest football club combined with the opportunity to return to his home city and residence of his girlfriend were significant factors in De Gea's decision to leave the Premier League."
OUR VIEW
Rumours with Lloris persist but he would be an inferior replacement for De Gea. Isn't it rather more likely that Louis van Gaal will just promote Victor Valdes, a player he made into Barcelona's first choice? Valdes has a tremendous record in the game and won't be content to sit on the bench. A goalkeeper of his calibre - who is fantastic with the ball at his feet, which Van Gaal loves - surely deserves to be given a chance.
