In a surprising turn of events, Real Madrid is grappling with the prospect of losing their star goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, to a cruciate ligament injury. The Belgian goalkeeper is now set to undergo surgery, a setback that could see him miss a significant portion of the upcoming season.
While Madrid is urgently seeking a replacement, one name that has emerged in the discussion is the former Manchester United shot-stopper, David de Gea. However, reports from Spain suggest that the appointment of De Gea might not receive the full backing of the team’s new coach, Carlo Ancelotti.
According to reliable sources, Ancelotti has reservations about the deal, even if it’s arranged as a free transfer. This adds an interesting twist to De Gea’s potential move, as Madrid looks for a capable and reliable replacement between the posts.
Another goalkeeper on Madrid’s shortlist is Bono from Sevilla, a strong contender despite the potential loss of the Moroccan international due to the Africa Cup of Nations in January. Additionally, Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, who displayed remarkable performance in La Liga last season, has also found his way into Madrid’s consideration for the critical role.
Meanwhile, David de Gea is in search of a new club following his departure from Manchester United at the start of this summer transfer window. This situation adds to the intrigue as the transfer market heats up with key moves from top clubs across Europe.
As Real Madrid navigates through this challenging period with Courtois’ unfortunate injury, the question of who will stand guard in the goal remains uncertain. With Ancelotti’s perspective potentially influencing the final decision, all eyes are on Madrid as they approach a crucial period in team-building ahead of the new season.
