With the Premier League poised to end in a few more days and the transfer window looming large around the corner, it is time for all the clubs to re-shuffle, re-organise and re-galvanise their squads.
Here we are going to talk about the reported transfer rumours of 3 Premier League keepers who are rumoured to leave their clubs this summer.
Simon Mignolet
Although promising in the beginning, the Belgian has had a poor season with Reds which saw him rotated with Karius a number of times throughout the season.
Simon has only made only 27 appearances in the league maintaining just 8 clean sheets. Although the Belgian has made 50 saves including 2 audacious penalties, he has still has conceded an astonishing 30 goals.(Source: – PremierLeague)
The Belgian has been exposed many a time this season with his weakness against long balls and crosses into the box. It is being reported that the Club is presently looking for a replacement for the Belgian in Man City outcast Joe Hart.
Also, Ligue 1 side Marseille is reportedly interested in signing the goalie, so who knows it might eventually be a happy “mutual divorce” for both club and player.
Kasper Schmeichel
Kasper has been the centre of many transfer talks in the last transfer window and this season doesn’t prove to be any different.The Danish goalkeeper has had a more or less fruitful season making 28 first team appearance for the Foxes.
Although he has managed a meagre 8 clean sheets this season, he has made 104 saves for his team which goes to show his personal contribution in keeping those clean sheets.(Source: – PremierLeague)
Although the Leicester man had committed his future to the Foxes till 2021, seeing the present troublesome situation and ambiguity at the club he may be compelled to test new waters.
His outstanding form in Champions league where he conceded only twice in 6 games has drawn the attention from big clubs like Arsenal and Real Madrid to sign him.
Both Zidane and Wenger has had a mixed season with their respective Goal-Keepers and would be looking for some consistency between the sticks and Schmeichel might provide them with just that.
Now we come to our 3rd and final man…
David De Gea
The Spanish sensation has not only won many hearts in his country but he also has a formidable following within the Reds of Manchester and also around the world, although, the recent talks of his transfer rumours linking him with the Spanish Capital would surely break a million of them.
The Spaniard boasts of a compelling CV with 14 cleans sheets so far this season out of his total of 35 appearances. Making a total of 74 saves and having conceded only 29 goals he sure is destined to be the greatest. And being only 26 years of age we are yet to experience his prime form.(Source: – PremierLeague)
He has been awarded Manchester United’s player of the year 3 season in a row and has become the only player to achieve the feat. His present contract binds him to the Red Devils till 2019 with an option to extend a further 1 year. But rumours suggest that Real Madrid have lined up a huge transfer fee for the former Atlectico man.
Florentino Perez is a man who has proven in the past that he makes sure to “get-what-he-wants” when it comes to the transfer market.
So it would be quite interesting to see whether De Gea manages to stay in Manchester or moves to the Spanish Capital.
