Just as Courtois’ return was imminent, the Belgian suffered a relapse of his injury and it is now certain that he will miss the rest of the season and part of the other season at Real Madrid.
Bad news for Real Madrid regarding goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who has extended his stay in the hospital, the option for David de Gea resurfaces. The Madrid goalkeeper would return to his country but not to stop between the three posts of the Colchonero team, but to be an alternative or even starting goalkeeper at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Since the beginning of the season, De Gea has been in free agency, where he was unable to leave despite the fact that his resume at Manchester United is very prestigious. Even his age is still young for a goalkeeper with these qualities. However, the goalkeeper from the capital continues to work physically on his own to be fit for the summer market.
David de Gea says yes to Real Madrid from now on
There is still no offer from the Madrid team for the 1.92 meter tall goalkeeper as it is an option at the moment. His free agent status as well as his Premier League experience as a defender for one of England’s most historic and successful teamsthey named him as favorite to sign for the Merengue team.
Florentino Pérez considers this operation very viable and if his commitment is approved, it will be for one year with an automatic extension option. The goalkeeper has already heard information about Madrid’s alleged interest and he accepted without hesitation. And no one moves from free agency to one of the best teams in the world.
What changes will there be with David de Gea at Real Madrid?
First of all, Thibaut Courtois’ return to the playing field is not yet certain as his meniscus operation only recently took place. According to the medical department, recovery will take between 2 and 4 months, although this is a preliminary date. In other words, it may or may not be ready for the start of next season.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, on the other hand, will return to Chelsea as Real Madrid are not yet fully convinced to exercise the purchase option. So far the only regular player is Andriy Lunin, the current goalkeeper of the white team. In this situation, signing David de Gea is more than feasible.
