Real Madrid will switch their attention to Hugo Lloris if they are unable to sign Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea.
According to a report in The Sun the Spanish giants are looking at alternative options if they fail to get Chelsea to part with the Belgian keeper.
Real have made the signing of a top class keeper their summer priority but have already given up on luring David de Gea away from Manchester United.
Courtois has never hidden his admiration for the Spanish lifestyle and has refused to sign an extended contract with Chelsea.
After three seasons at Atletico Madrid he is believed to be keen to return to the city for family as well as footballing reasons.
If Chelsea convince Courtois to stay Real will instantly switch their attention across London to Lloris.
Despite signing a new contract with Spurs in December the prospect of doubling his salary and playing for Real is bound to appeal although negotiating with Daniel Levi is never straightforward.
