Real Madrid could sign Courtois's heir in 2026, top-level superstar for free

The Whites have their sights set on Courtois's heir, who could arrive for free in 2026

The goalkeeping position for the white team is one of the topics that seems most solved after Courtois's recent contract renewal. However, it seems that the board doesn't want to think short-term and has a name on the table to replace the Belgian goalkeeper. We're referring to none other than Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG footballer who's on the list of desired players.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper has been one of the key pieces in Paris's UEFA Champions League win. Obviously, this is quite a complicated operation considering what this player means to PSG.

But the most interesting thing is his contract situation, which ends in 2026, much to Madrid's delight. This could tip the balance in favor of the white team with a free transfer next year. All of this depends on whether Paris Saint-Germain doesn't look for a way to renew his contract, and they're sure to try.

They want the Italian

This player hasn't only had an outstanding performance for the French team, but also for his national team. It's important to remember that he was also a key piece for Italy in that Euro Cup they won in 2020.

After several quite negative seasons, he managed to establish himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the most important moment. For this reason, the idea of having this footballer as the ideal replacement for Courtois is a great option. However, the terrible relationship that exists between Madrid and PSG could greatly complicate this entire situation.

The renewal of the merengue goalkeeper has been a strategic move by Florentino to avoid losing the best goalkeeper in the world. Thinking about the future, this could be an interesting tactic, especially considering that it would be a completely free arrival.

They have to act soon

Florentino has to do everything possible to make sure the player avoids renewing his contract with the French team and, in this way, secure a goalkeeper for the next decade. All of this with a footballer replacing the best goalkeeper in the world right now with one who promises to be and is already competing for that title.
