Real Madrid Confidencial Fabrizio Romano announces the signing is imminent, Florentino smiles, he is the best
Real Madrid is about to sign his contract. Florentino knows that he will have the best
Real Madrid has been very alert to several moves they consider a priority in the market. Trent and Huijsen have already made their debuts, and they've announced the signing of Franco Mastantuono after the World Cup. However, there are still some deals left to close, and one of them has accelerated.
This isn't about the arrival of Álvaro Carreras, which won't be completed until the tournament in the United States ends. Instead, it's a contract renewal, Thibaut Courtois's, until 2027. The Belgian's contract was set to expire next June, but Madrid has wanted to get ahead of things.
That's why they want to extend his contract for one more season, and there would already be a date set for the signing. Fabrizio Romano has reported Real Madrid's intention to have everything sealed. The signing of his renewal will take place during next July.
Florentino knows that right now there's no better goalkeeper and wants to keep counting on him. Meanwhile, Thibaut is also very comfortable in the Madrid team, as well as in the Spanish capital. So the agreement hasn't been very difficult to reach between both parties.
Xabi Alonso pushes Lunin to leave Real Madrid
If Real Madrid is about to finalize Courtois's continuity, there are more doubts about Lunin's future. It's true that the Ukrainian renewed his contract at the beginning of the season. Right now it's not clear that he'll remain with the team beyond the Club World Cup.
Lunin has seen that Xabi Alonso's arrival hasn't changed his situation at all at Real Madrid. He chose Courtois for the debut against Al Hilal, with the Ukrainian as a substitute. That lack of playing time is starting to weigh on him, making him consider looking for a new destination.
He knows that with the Belgian at that level, it's going to be impossible for him to play the important matches. He's also not going to have much continuity, which is something he needs. So this summer could be one of the departures that end up happening at Real Madrid.
