Didac Aguirre Florentino Already Has the Next Real Madrid Goalkeeper Tied up if Courtois Doesn't Renew
The replacement that Florentino Pérez has prepared in case Thibaut Courtois leaves
The best goalkeeper in the world, Courtois' future is full of unknowns. The Belgian goalkeeper, despite his great form with Real Madrid, might not continue with the team for next season . A situation that ended up inclining Florentino Pérez to look for a replacement as soon as possible.
The chosen goalkeeper is Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was already in the Merengue squad last season . Despite the level that Lunin has shown, the excellent moment of the Basque goalkeeper in Bournemouth has brought him closer to the Merengue team again. Showing some regret for not having signed him earlier, the club is looking to make up for that error.
Courtois' Replacement
Arriving at Real Madrid last season after Courtois' injury, Kepa put in some great performances for the team. Despite losing his starting place to Lunin, the Basque remained important. However, the Merengue team opted not to sign him and let him return to Chelsea, a club that proceeded to loan him out as they had no confidence in him .
After 810 minutes played, 14 goals conceded and two clean sheets, Kepa has recovered his form . His resurgence at Bournemouth has put him back in the sights of Real Madrid. With Courtois' future uncertain, Kepa has been seen as a reinforcement on the level of the Belgian.
However, the 30-year-old goalkeeper's great form has also put him on the radar of other teams. Having to complete his loan until the end of this season, Real Madrid understand that his transfer will not be easy .
An archer of the highest caliber
Despite losing his place in the starting XI to Lunin, Kepa maintained an excellent relationship with everyone at Real Madrid. Assuming his role as a substitute, the Basque proved to be a player who was not at all problematic, preferring to keep his focus on helping the club.
This good relationship and his commitment to the club have given him points to see him back at Valdebebas next summer. Even so, his return is not yet finalised, with Real Madrid having to start working to complete this transfer .
