Diego López is leaving Real Madrid. The goalkeeper has been informed that he is no longer needed, and must now look for a way out of the Bernabeu when the team returns from its tour of the USA. Both Napoli and Monaco are interested in the player's shot-stopping services, although the player's plans were to stay on at Real and compete for a place between the sticks.

The arrival of Keylor Navas alongside manager Carlo Ancelotti’s backing of Iker Casillas for the coming season has pushed Diego López towards the club's exit door. Real Madrid are seriously thinking about paying the player all monies owed stipulated on his contract and allowing him to sign for any club that he wishes. It is understood that senior management at the Bernabéu are grateful for the keeper's professionalism and for this reason will do everything to make his leaving as painless as possible.

Monaco are big favourites to sign the player, but close behind are Napoli and Chelsea. If Mourinho's club manages to sell Cech on to PSG, they will try to persuade the Spaniard, who is already on their radar, to come and play for them.
