Real Madrid about to sign the 'Messi of goalkeepers': 'What he does isn't normal'

The one who is considered the 'Messi of goalkeepers' is one step away from signing for Madrid, and it's great news

Madridists know perfectly well that the goal is one of the main strengths that the white team has today. However, Lucas Cañizares's statements are even more surprising, as he talks about who he considers to be the "Messi of goalkeepers." Obviously, this is about the Belgian goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, whom he considers the best goalkeeper in the world, and he's about to sign the contract renewal.

While for some, the comparison with Lionel Messi, who is a Barça player, is somewhat unpleasant, they understand the point. The goalkeeper is considered the best in the world right now and for some, in this case, the best in history by reference. Although what's up for debate is saying this about Messi, but when it comes to Courtois, it's a reality.

The best Real Madrid has had

There's a lot of debate about whether Courtois is the best goalkeeper the white team has had in its history or not. This team has had some impressive names, and just remembering his predecessor, who was Keylor Navas during the three consecutive Champions League wins.

Before him, there was a legend like Iker Casillas, who is considered by many the best of all time. However, with the saves we've seen in recent years, it's been absolutely unbelievable and a response to Madrid's resounding victories. Just recalling the white team's 14th Champions League win, a saving Courtois was essential in every stage.

According to what Defensa Central has learned, the Belgian goalkeeper's contract renewal is very close to becoming one of the club's realities and being announced. This would be a significant statement compared to other teams, as this star will continue between the posts for the Merengues.

He will stay for a few more years

While it's necessary to slowly start thinking about who will be his replacement and who will deliver the desired level, there are still quite a few years left before he leaves. A player who is absolutely decisive
