Thibaut Courtois
At Real Madrid, the club already knows who will step up as the first-choice goalkeeper after Thibaut Courtois.
As is often the case, Real Madrid is determined not to be caught off guard and is already planning for the post-Courtois era. According to AS, the Madrid decision-makers have a clear idea for the Belgian keeper's successor. That man is Fran Gonzalez, the talented 20-year-old shot-stopper currently playing for Real Madrid Castilla.
The young goalkeeper is coming off an impressive U20 World Cup with Spain, despite La Roja's exit in the quarter-finals. Fran Gonzalez delivered outstanding performances, especially against Brazil (1-0), establishing himself as one of the sensations of the tournament. Standing at 1.99m, he is now seen as Madrid's goalkeeper of the future and has already caught the eye of Carlo Ancelotti, who has called him up to train with the senior squad on multiple occasions.
