Real Madrid has approached Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia as a potential long-term replacement for Thibaut Courtois, who is expected to extend his contract, affecting Andriy Lunin’s future at the club. The club’s strategy, under incoming manager Xabi Alonso, aims to “Spanishise” the squad, prompting them to advise Garcia’s entourage to communicate with them before any decisions regarding offers. With Garcia’s release clause set at €30 million and potential future options, Madrid is considering securing his signing now, possibly loaning him back to Espanyol for further development.
