Real Madrid may be able to claim two goalkeepers who are now doing quite well, namely Andriy Lunin and Kepa Arrizabalaga. In spite of this, neither player is able to persuade the board that they are a suitable long-term alternative for Thibaut Courtois.
The absence of a guaranteed in-house answer led Los Blancos to enter the market, where they have scouted players from all over the globe via the process of player acquisition.
It is the new Ukrainian.
As far as the reports from AS are concerned, their search has at long last yielded results.Illia Voloshyn, a Ukrainian starlet who is just 17 years old and is widely regarded as one of the most promising shot-stopping talents in the world, has been signed by Los Blancos.
In addition, all of the necessary processes have been completed, and they have negotiated a deal with Rayo Majadahonda to integrate the star until the year 2026.
This season, Lunin has established himself as a formidable rival to Kepa, and he is widely considered to be one of the greatest goalkeepers for Ukraine. Real Madrid’s latest youth acquisition, incidentally, happens to be his countrymen.
Wednesday will be the day when Illia Voloshyn leaves for Madrid, where he will sign his contract and be formally introduced to the public as a new player for Real Madrid. It goes without saying that he is anticipated to begin his career with the Castilla before moving up to the first squad before making the transition.
Some kind of long-term answer?
The abilities that Voloshyn has in the air, namely his quick reactions and easy distribution, make him stand out. One might say that he is the whole deal, despite the fact that, considering his age, he still has a lot of room for development.
Given that the Belgian is now 31 years old, he will be one of the greatest options for the squad to take over from Courtois in the years to come. He will be one of the strongest candidates.
On the other hand, he will have to contend with a fierce competition from Fran Gonzalez, who is the homegrown candidate of Los Blancos and the academy’s precious geme.
