Real Madrid Confidencial Florentino will be very alert to a possible signing in Cornellá, Mbappé key
The match against Espanyol could seal a new signing
Real Madrid plays this Saturday in Cornellà against Espanyol looking to maintain their lead in the league. As sole leaders, they will take the field knowing how Atlético has fared. Moreover, they can put pressure on Barça, who plays this Sunday against Alavés.
A match that, besides the 3 points, will have a very special mission for Florentino, who will be paying close attention. Indeed, they will keep a close eye on goalkeeper Joan García, who already had a great performance at Bernabéu. In fact, he is among the four goalkeepers in Europe with the most saves and balls caught.
Florentino will be very alert to his performance as he is a signing that is highly considered. Additionally, Mbappé will have a lot to say in the operation as the Frenchman is on a roll. We'll see if Espanyol's goalkeeper is capable of stopping Kylian.
In fact, against Valladolid, he scored his first hat-trick since wearing the merengue jersey. While it's true that he didn't score against Brest, he had found the net in previous matches. Against Joan, he will have the chance to redeem himself or to make it clear that he is a great goalkeeper.
The future of Real Madrid's goalkeeping is hanging in the air for this summer
Real Madrid has the best goalkeeper in the world and a backup who has proven to be reliable. However, it's uncertain what will happen with the merengue goalkeeping next season. It's not clear if either of them will leave.
On one hand, Courtois has a significant offer on the table from Saudi Arabia. They want to make him one of the great stars of their league, taking advantage of the fact that he hasn't renewed. Although it seems it's a matter of days before his continuity is secured.
Meanwhile, regarding Lunin, after all the rumors last summer, he ended up renewing at the start of the season. But that doesn't guarantee his continuity as he is getting few minutes. So far, he has only benched Thibaut in the Copa, so he might leave to get more opportunities.
