Real Madrid will pursue Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia if Andriy Lunin departs this summer, according to Marca.
Lunin has displayed quality this season, but has not played regularly. With Thibaut Courtois as the main goalkeeper, Lunin’s future is uncertain.
Garcia is a possible replacement. The 24-year-old has impressed many people despite playing for a struggling Espanyol side.
Espanyol have battled relegation for most of the campaign, yet Garcia has stood out with his performances in goal.
He has conceded 51 goals this season but has kept seven clean sheets. His form has been key in keeping Espanyol’s survival hopes alive.
Madrid believe he could develop under better conditions and coaching. They see him as a solid long-term investment.
Madrid are set for a big summer overhaul
It has been a disappointing season for Madrid. They have ended the campaign without any major trophies.
Madrid suffered four defeats to rivals Barcelona across all competitions, adding to their frustration around their form.
Even with Kylian Mbappe scoring 40 goals this season, Madrid’s injury problems and inconsistent displays damaged their title chances.
The club is planning a big summer overhaul to bounce back stronger. Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to complete a move to Madrid soon.
Alvaro Carreras is set to join, while Dean Huijsen will come in and take a place in the first-team squad.
Garcia could be part of the rebuild. The club wants to have depth in every position, including goalkeeping. If Lunin leaves, Garcia is rated as the right fit for Madrid.
