REAL MADRID have offered Keylor Navas to three Serie A sides as they prepare for a goalkeeping overhaul in the summer.
The Costa Rica international will leave the Bernabeu in the summer, with the club hoping to bring in Thibaut Courtois, David De Gea or Gianluigi Donnarumma.
And Navas has been offered to Juventus, Roma and Lazio.

The former immediately rejected to deal, as Gianluigi Buffon still has another year left — and the Bianconeri are hoping to sign Donnarumma.
Lazio are the more likely destination for Navas, while the goalkeeping situation at Roma will become clearer in the summer.
The Giallorossi are still waiting to see if Wojciech Szczesny will stay beyond the end of the season.
Navas’ departure will open up the door for Real Madrid to sign one of the game’s elite stoppers.
De Gea is thought to be the No.1 target, given his level of ability and the fact he is Spanish.
But, with Jose Mourinho in charge of Manchester United, Real Madrid chiefs are aware they will face a difficult challenge to bring him to the Bernabeu.
So Courtois is a slightly more realistic option.
