The summer transfer window ended almost a week ago in the main European championships. But some teams are already thinking about the future. This is the case for Real Madrid. Indeed, José Mourinho has said that he would have liked to have an additional midfielder and defender. But he will have to do without it. The residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium must also make progress on the succession of Thibaut Courtois.

At the end of his contract in a year, the Belgian will extend the adventure for at least one season or even a little more. But at almost 34 years old, it is not eternal. Real Madrid is therefore exploring the goalkeeper market in order to find their replacement. Except that the Cadena SER indicates that this is far from an easy mission. One of the profiles that appealed was that of Lucca Brughmans (18 years old, on loan to Genk). The Madrilenians intended to go on the offensive after the transfer window. Problem, Liverpool was more lively and recruited the goalkeeper. The Merengues will therefore have to change targets.
