The goalkeeper's contract is ending, and Real Madrid are closely following his performances
The future of the goalkeeper position at Real Madrid seems to be secured. As of today, the white team has two of the best goalkeepers in the world in its squad. Thibaut Courtois is the undisputed number one, and Andriy Lunin could be a starter in most clubs around the world without any issues.
Looking ahead to the next season, the Belgian will continue to be the man guarding the goalposts for Real Madrid. There are more doubts regarding Andriy Lunin's stay with the team, as surpassing Thibaut Courtois seems challenging. The Ukrainian has interesting offers and will have time to assess his situation.
From there, regardless of what happens, Real Madrid will have to think about the options that may arise for the future. Thibaut Courtois is 32 years old, and although he is at a sublime level, his stay in the starting eleven won't be forever.
What Option Are They Considering at Real Madrid?
In just six months, Mario de Luis has gone from being the fourth goalkeeper of Real Madrid Castilla to earning the starting position and debuting with the Spanish under-21 team. A process that has also led him to face a tough test off the field: the loss of his father. However, the young man has managed to recover perfectly, proving his worth on the field.
The goalkeeper fulfilled his dream by joining Real Madrid's youth academy in 2010. He was even drafted for first-team matches, such as the classic against FC Barcelona last season at Santiago Bernabéu. At that moment, his name, "Mario de Luis", echoed through the stadium's loudspeakers, and his face appeared on the 360º scoreboard.
His Contract Ends Very Soon
Currently, his contract with the white entity ends in June 2025. At Real Madrid, they are beginning to consider what to do with the goalkeeper, as he might not have continuity in the first team. However, they also don't want to lose a goalkeeper who possesses a fantastic level and could be a starter in the coming years.
Meanwhile, Mario de Luis continues to take advantage of his opportunities with Real Madrid Castilla, which has led to his draft with Spain.Santi Denia wanted to see his performance up close and even debuted him against the Czech Republic.
We will have to keep an eye on the future of Mario de Luis. At Real Madrid, they will have to decide, as the footballer will have offers from other clubs for next summer.
