Real Madrid Confidencial Fabrizio Romano announces the renewal, Florentino secures the signature of the world's best
The footballer will continue to wear Real Madrid's jersey until 2027
Real Madrid ensures the presence of the best goalkeeper in the world until 2027. According to Fabrizio Romano, Thibaut Courtois will renew his contract with the Madrid club for another 2 years. The agreement has already been finalized with the Belgian goalkeeper, who was very clear about his decision from the beginning.
From now on, Thibaut Courtois will have 2 years left on his contract, meaning the renewal hasn't been done season by season. At Real Madrid, they are used to renewing their players over 30 years old on a season-by-season basis. However, the former Chelsea player has been an exception.
Thibaut Courtois is indisputable at Real Madrid
Once again, despite his recent injuries, Thibaut Courtois proved that he is the best at what he does. His performances in the Club World Cup were magnificent, even saving Real Madrid on more than one or two occasions. In fact, the match against Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals didn't go on longer thanks to his unbelievable saves.
At one point, there was talk about the possibility of Joan García as the Belgian's heir, but Real Madrid didn't choose to sign the Catalan goalkeeper, who is now a Culer. Kepa Arrizabalaga was also rumored to return to the Madrid club's goal, but he ended up signing for Arsenal because he knew that at Bernabéu, it's impossible to play with the "giraffe."
Xabi Alonso has maximum trust in Thibaut Courtois, since he knows that his saves will be key throughout the season. In addition, the Basque coach doesn't usually rotate in goal, so the Belgian will definitely be the starter in the most important matches of the season. However, it's not ruled out that Andriy Lunin could play in a tournament like the Copa del Rey again.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian goalkeeper still has a contract with Real Madrid, although he is well aware that he won't be the starter if Thibaut Courtois keeps his usual form. That's why the second goalkeeper is still considering different offers, since his goal is to be the first-choice goalkeeper at a major club in Europe.
