Manchester United are now looking at Feyenoord’s Justin Bijlow and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Kevin Trapp to solve Erik ten Hag’s keeper headache.
Ten Hag has made it clear he wants a new No 1 to replace out-of-contract David De Gea and a back-up to allow him to sell Dean Henderson.
Cash-strapped United don’t have the money to deliver all of their manager’s summer targets.
The £60 million deal they have agreed to pay Chelsea for midfielder Mason Mount will account for half of the club’s £120 million transfer budget.
Ten Hag also wants a new striker and defender to bolster his team at both ends of the pitch.
But FFP restrictions mean United don’t have the £60 million it would take Inter Milan to sell Cameroonian international keeper Andre Onana.
And although the Reds hope to sell a number of players to raise more funds, they have now started to look at cheaper options.
Feyenoord will demand £20million for 25-year-old Dutch international Bijlow.
Trapp, 32, who has made seven appearances for Germany, would command a fee close to £10million.
United can raise most of the cash by selling Henderson to Nottingham Forest for £25million.
De Gea is now a free agent after his contract ran out on Friday.
United have not ruled out reopening talks with the 32-year-old Spaniard once his wedding celebrations have finished.
But Ten Hag has made it clear that De Gea cannot provide the ball-playing skills he requires from a keeper.
