Buffon: Real Madrid don't need Donnarumma – Navas is great
The presence of Keylor Navas means Real Madrid have no need for a new goalkeeper, according to Gianluigi Buffon.
Gianluigi Buffon feels Real Madrid have a great goalkeeper in Keylor Navas and have no reason to sign Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Juventus and Buffon were beaten 4-1 by Madrid in June's Champions League final, as the Spanish side became the first team in the competition's modern era to win back-to-back European titles.
Navas has been Madrid's shot stopper for both of those triumphs, but that did not stop Zinedine Zidane's men being linked with a new keeper in the transfer window.
Manchester United's David de Gea is repeatedly mentioned as a target, while Donnarumma was connected with a potential move prior to signing a new contract with AC Milan.
Buffon, though, cannot see a reason why Madrid would not keep faith in Navas, who was occasionally criticised last season.
Asked if Madrid should sign a new keeper like Italy team-mate Donnarumma, Buffon told Marca: "Real Madrid haven't lacked anything over the past 10 years, as they have bought the best footballers.
"Keylor Navas is a great goalkeeper, despite what some say.
