Real Madrid plot shock move for Leicester star: This could help secure Man United deal
KASPER SCHMEICHEL is reportedly a shock target for Real Madrid.
Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has emerged as a shock target for Real Madrid
Schmeichel, 30, has been a shining light for Premier League champions Leicester this season.
His displays in the Champions League have proved decisive with his key saves ensuring the Foxes squeezed past Sevilla to set up a quarter-final clash with Atletico Madrid.
David de Gea is a long-term target for Real Madrid
And Spanish outlet Don Balon claim his performances have caught the eye of Real Madrid.
The La Liga giants are keen to find a replacement for Kaylor Navas between the sticks with Zinedine Zidane unconvinced by his ability and they regard the Denmark international as a potential solution.
Jose Mourinho is interested in bringing Kasper Schmeichel to Man United
Don Balon add Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is also keen on securing Schmeichel's signature.
But Real will apparently be willing to back off from signing Schmeichel and clear the way for United to land him should they lower the cost of No 1 target David de Gea.
De Gea has been a long-term target for Real and United want around £61million for the Spain international.
