Best Available Goalkeepers in Summer 2025

1. Diogo Costa (FC Porto) – Age 25

Mate, this Portuguese lad is something else. Saw him live against City in the Champions League and he was pulling off saves that had no right to happen. Porto’s always been a selling club, and with FFP breathing down everyone’s necks, they’ll listen to offers Costa has a release clause of €75 million but Porto might be willing to negotiate around €60 million

Manchester City and have been sniffing around him for months – their fans are proper obsessed on Reddit. Season stats: 1 clean sheets in 9 matches, 82.78% save rate.He’s been brilliant for Portugal too – check out our piece on Portugal’s Nations League 2025 squad where Costa’s role is crucial.

Transfer likelihood: High – Premier League clubs monitoring

2. Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid) – Age 32

Oblak needs no introduction, as we all know he is one of the best goalkeepers to play this game. He has shown his abilities again and again with his brilliant performances throughout this decade. Atletico Madrid still considers him a key player, but there are several clubs interested in him. Atletico may consider letting him go if they get a good offer of €25 million or above.

Season stats: 15 clean sheets, 74% saves. Transfer likelihood: Medium – Win major trophies.

3. David Raya (Arsenal) – Age 28

Arsenal spent all that money to bring him in, he’s been decent enough, but now nobody knows if they’re keeping him or what. Ramsdale’s gone, isn’t he? Could be a bargain for someone if Arsenal decide they’ve made a mistake. and since they have signed Kepa Arrizabalaga there will be competition in playing eleven.

Season stats: 11 clean sheets, 75% saves. Transfer likelihood: Medium – Contract situation unclear

4. Yassine Bounou (Al Hilal) – Age 33

Remember him pocketing everyone at the World Cup 2022? Yeah, he went to Saudi for the cash, but apparently he’s already bored out of his mind. the kids miss Europe, and he’s itching to get back to Europe to get proper football.

Could be available for way less than you’d think. Season stats: 9 clean sheets, 75% saves in Saudi Pro League.

Transfer likelihood: High – Wants European return

5. Alex Meret (Napoli) – Age 27

Honestly one of the most underrated keepers in Europe right now. Napoli have been arsing about with his contract situation for ages, As he recently signed his two years contract extension the chances of leaving Napoli is very low. Serie A keepers just have that something, don’t they? Proper old-school shot-stopping.

Season stats: 16 clean sheets, 70.9% save rate. Transfer likelihood: – Contract expires 2027

6. Altay Bayındır (Manchester United) – Age 26

Feel sorry for this one. Signed thinking he’d challenge Onana, but he’s basically been warming the bench all season. Once Turkey’s main man, now relegated to games no one cares about. United won’t stand in his way if someone comes calling – they’ve got bigger problems to worry about.

Season stats: 1 clean sheets, 44.4% save rate Transfer likelihood: Very High – Wants regular football

7. Justin Bijlow (Feyenoord) – Age 27

When this Dutch keeper’s fit, he’s class. Problem is, he spends half his time in the treatment room. But Dutch keepers are usually worth a punt, aren’t they? Plus Feyenoord could probably use the cash after spending big on their Champions League run.

Season stats: 1 clean sheets, 50% saves when available.

Transfer likelihood: Medium – Injury concerns

8. Andriy Lunin (Real Madrid) – Age 25

Stepped up massive when Courtois got Injured and genuinely looked like he belonged. But Real don’t do backup keepers – you’re either the main man or you’re gone. He knows it, everyone knows it. Reckon he’ll push for a move where he can actually play regularly.

Season stats: 10 clean sheets, 80% save rate during Courtois absence.

Transfer likelihood: High – Wants first-team football

9. Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace) – Age 28

Remember when everyone thought he was England’s future? Injuries proper derailed his career, but the talent’s still in there somewhere. Palace might need to sell if the right offer comes in – they’re not exactly flush with cash.

Season stats: 11 clean sheets, 67% saves. Transfer likelihood: Medium – Palace financial pressure

10. Illan Meslier (Leeds United) – Age 24

Embed from Getty Images

Way too good for the Championship, this one. Been carrying Leeds on his back for years. French youth international with Champions League experience from his Lorient days. Championship clubs always cash in on their best players eventually.

Season stats: 5 clean sheets, 69% saves in Championship.

Transfer likelihood: High – Too good for Championship level

Goalkeeper Transfer Market Analysis 2025

Look, I know stats aren’t everything – you can’t measure bottle or presence from a spreadsheet – but here’s what these lads have been doing this season:

Premier League Ready: Costa (78% saves), and Lunin (80% saves) all show top-flight quality.

Value Picks: Meret and Bayındır offer proven quality without mental price tags. Both could be available for under €20 million.

Biggest Gamble: Bounou . Age is catching up at 33, but his World Cup experience could be exactly what a young squad needs.

Summer 2025 Transfer Predictions

Most likely to actually move: Costa and Bounou. Porto needs money and Bounou wants to return Euorpe, and there’s proper interest from big teams in Costa.

Dark horse: Lunin. Real Madrid might let him go cheap just to free up squad space for their next galactico signing.

Best value transfers: Look for Altay Bayındır (€6M) and Dean Henderson (€10M) as bargain options.
