Real Madrid doubts Joan García's signing and is considering another international goalkeeper

The great goal star who has surpassed Joan García as Real Madrid's priority

During the past few weeks, Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García has been linked with a move to Real Madrid. With the talented Spanish goalkeeper hinting that this was his last season with Espanyol, Real Madrid got to work. However, the recent doubts raised about his signing have changed the club's mind.

Although Joan's quality as a goalkeeper hasn't been questioned, Real Madrid has preferred to consider other options. This has led to the strong interest that has arisen at Real Madrid in David Raya. As a starter at Arsenal and a regular player for the Spanish national team, Raya has shown qualities that interest Real Madrid.

Given the situation of their squad, with Lunin's future remaining a mystery, Raya has been seen by Real Madrid as a top-level reinforcement. However, in the absence of more information regarding this, all that remains is to wait for some move from Real Madrid.

Joan García's replacement

At 29 years old, David Raya has managed to establish himself as a top-level goalkeeper. Playing just his first season with Arsenal, Raya delivered several memorable performances. One of the most outstanding was his performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League, where he was a wall for the white club.

Making quite impressive saves, Raya proved to be a reliable and completely secure goalkeeper. Conceding only 50 goals in 55 matches this season and keeping 19 clean sheets, Raya is one of Arsenal's stars.

Although Real Madrid still hasn't made any move for him, this could happen soon. Everything depends on what the future holds for Real Madrid's goal for next season, with Lunin keeping the mystery about his future.

The star chosen by Real Madrid

The interest in David Raya makes clear Real Madrid's intentions for next season. Looking to strengthen every possible position, David Raya would be an excellent addition to secure the future of a goal that seeks to become impenetrable again.
