In a time where goalkeepers' selling rate has been misrepresented, it is hard for anybody to recognise a decent goalie, as the sticker prices will undoubtedly impact the greater part of the choices in figuring out who the best goalkeeper really is.

Therefore, this rundown will include the best goalkeepers, not simply based on the price tag, but rather on his individual skills which separate him from others.

Most goalkeepers here are characterised not by the saves they make, but rather on their mindfulness and what value they provide even before the season starts.


#6 Gianluigi Donnarumma

Someone essentially does not get the chance to be the main goalkeeper of a noteworthy club like A.C Milan, if he is not the best of the best. Gianluigi Donnarumma broke into Milan's beginning eleven as a youngster and has not looked back, ever since.

Developing from solidarity to quality each season and at 19 years old, he still has space to form into a standout amongst the best on the planet if not the best. Often compared with Gianluigi Buffon, Donnarumma has a very long time on his side to outperform the records set by the man he is being compared with.


#5 Ederson Moraes

At 25 years of age now, Ederson Moraes is sprouting into a standout amongst the most solid goalkeepers crosswise over Europe. The manner in which he plays is essentially great and his capacity on the ball is up there with the absolute best. The vast majority of City's attacks begin with him and that makes him a gigantic resource for them.

He was essential in Manchester City's record-setting campaign in the 2017-18 Premier League. He held 17 clean sheets in last year's EPL, which City won in almost perfect style.

Alisson Becker is most likely the only goalkeeper who came out of the past year's World Cup with a shining reputation. This earned him a major cash move to Liverpool where he has been performing at a stupendous level, wowing the fans and his colleagues with his serenity and capacity on the ball.

Moreover, for most football managers on the planet, a goalkeeper who can play with his feet is unquestionably significant as you will have 11 players on the field against the oppositions' 10.


#3 Thibaut Courtois

Real Madrid have a fantastic goalkeeper in the Belgian

Thibaut Courtois got his much-needed move to Real Madrid this late spring. A standout amongst the most complete goalkeepers on the planet today, Courtois has all the capacities that you'd need in your goalkeeper.

He has physic, reflexes and leading capacity to make him a standout amongst the best in the advanced sport of football. Additionally, he is also good with the ball at his feet. The Madrid and Belgium number one essentially passed up being in the main two because of the stature of the two in front of him.

#2 Manuel Neuer

Manuel Neuer is a complete goalkeeper, regardless of whether he remains with the German goalkeepers of old he would effectively be in the top two.

The present captain of both Bayern Munich and Germany has outstanding capacities and beating him when one-on-one takes something extraordinary. Balls outside the box seldom beat the amazing German. His big stature helps him covering most of the goal, and he has an intimidating presence, which isn't a minor detail in goalkeeping for such a big club.

A World Cup and UEFA Champions League winner, the 32-year-old superstar has 169 clean sheets in 326 matches for Bayern in all competitions, which is simply stunning.

#1 David De Gea

The Spanish goalkeeper is the best there is

David De Gea has every one of the abilities to make him the best goalkeeper on the planet. He has speed, great physic and his reflexes are not shared by any goalkeeper on the planet today.

Sold to Manchester United at 20 years old for £22.5 million, that is by all accounts a bargain thinking about the present market. He has been the sparkling light in the Manchester United post-Sir Alex Ferguson period winning everything except one Manchester United player of the year award.

You basically cannot place anybody before this gifted Spanish maestro in any rundown of goalkeepers. With 38 caps for Spain and 345 appearances for Manchester United before the age of 30, one still feels that the best is yet to come from De Gea.
