# Everton and Bournemouth fighting for experienced stopper

![Diego Lopez (Real Madrid)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Diego-Lopez-Real-Madrid.jpg)Everton fans around the Tavern will be interested to hear that respected Italian news outlet [Gazetta dello Sport have linked the club with Diego Lopez, along with Bournemouth.](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-transfer-rumours-diego-lopez-10691660)

The goalkeeper is currently contracted until 2018, but [Gazetta dello Sport have claimed that both of the Premier League sides are monitoring the AC Milan stopper.](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-transfer-rumours-diego-lopez-10691660)

The 34-year old moved to the Serie A side after falling behind Keylor Navas in the pecking order for the number 1 jersey at Real Madrid.

This season, the Spaniard has only managed to accumulate 8 appearances from of Milan’s 18 league fixtures, making 15 saves.

However, our landlord doesn’t think that a switch to Goodison Park will happen for Lopez, with the former Sevilla and Villarreal man struggling for game time at his previous two clubs, as well as a only being two years younger than his Everton’s current American counterpart, Tim Howard.

**Everton fans, would you like to see your club sign Lopez? Let us know in the comments below!**
