Reports: Real Madrid want Brighton star to replace veteran two-time Champions League winner

Real Madrid are reportedly planning for another key signing.

Having already captured the likes of Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, and Kylian Mbappe, the Spanish giants are building one of the best squads in world football. 

One position Los Blancos haven’t had to worry too much about is their goalkeeper though. Thibaut Courtois, who joined from Chelsea in 2018, has been a loyal servant. The 32-year-old has experienced a trophy-littered six-year spell including lifting the 2022 and 2024 Champions League.

Real Madrid identify Thibaut Courtois replacement

However, with his deal expiring in 2026 and age very much against him, it’s unlikely Carlo Ancelotti will look to extend the number one’s deal, and that, according to a recent report from Fichajes, could open the door for one Premier League goalkeeper to arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The shot-stopper in question? – Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen.

Bart Verbruggen is a target for Real Madrid.

The 22-year-old, who joined the Seagulls from Anderlecht last summer, has enjoyed an excellent breakthrough. Not only has he become one of England’s most consistent performers, but he has also emerged as the Netherlands’ number one.
