Real Madrid could face significant signings this upcoming summer to tackle the next season. Two of the players who are being strongly considered are Huijsen and Zubimendi. In fact, they would be two additions aimed at making the squad more Spanish, something Florentino is pursuing.

But they might not be the only ones, as according to Cadena SER, Real Madrid is going for a third Spanish signing. In this case, it would be for the goalkeeper position since Joan García is of interest for this summer. The club is seriously reconsidering trying to secure his services.

Especially considering that Lunin could leave according to the latest information. This season he has barely had minutes and even less in important matches. Ancelotti benched him in the Copa final and preferred to start Courtois, despite the Ukrainian having been playing the tournament.

Amid Jorge Mendes's moves to try to get him out of Real Madrid this summer. The club has reacted and they are clear that Joan is the best candidate to take his place. Especially after seeing his performance in the first season in the First Division.

A reliable signing for Real Madrid thinking about the future

The truth is that Joan García would not only join Real Madrid to be Thibaut Courtois's backup. They see him as a long-term alternative to take his place when the Belgian leaves. They believe he has the necessary conditions to assume that position in the future.

In his first season in the First Division, he has become one of the goalkeepers with the most interventions. He has shown good reflexes and an ability to stay focused throughout the match. Additionally, this experience in the elite also serves him well.

Everything will depend on what happens with Lunin and whether he leaves Real Madrid this summer. If that happens, the club will have to bring in a backup goalkeeper for Courtois. And the chosen one will be Joan García, for whom they will make a significant effort to convince Espanyol of his signing.
