Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, may find himself having three of the best goalkeepers available to him for the next season, or he may only have one.
It is possible that Andriy Lunin, who has been his deputy for some time now, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is now on loan at the club and has stated his desire to stay as a player for a longer period of time, may join Thibaut Courtois after he has fully healed from his anterior cruciate ligament injury and is ready to leave.
Courtois, on the other hand, may wind up being the only goalkeeper that Ancelotti has available to him in the event that Lunin decides to leave the club in quest of a starting position and Kepa is not signed on a permanent basis.
The second scenario would need the Merengues to enter the market in order to acquire a new backup player who would also be the long-term successor to Courtois.
It is an objective for Randall Rodriguez.
The goalkeeper Randall Rodriguez, who is 20 years old and now plays for Penarol, has been identified by Real Madrid as a potential candidate to strengthen the position during the summer of 2024, according to AS.
After his unexpected performance in the Under-20 World Cup in Argentina last summer, Real Madrid is pleased with his progress in recent months and are looking forward to seeing what he can do.
Rodriguez is one of the most talked-about young players in Uruguay, despite the fact that he has not yet made a significant impact at the first-team level with his club. Rodriguez is a product of Penarol’s junior system, and he has grown more popular.
Due to his height of 1.89 meters, the young man, who is now 20 years old, is regarded as one of the future diamonds in the South American country. The results he achieved at the Under-20 World Cup helped him establish a name for himself among the most accomplished athletes.

Following the Valverde path
The board of directors has proposed that Rodriguez be signed for the Castilla squad immediately, despite the fact that there have been no initial contacts established between Real Madrid and Penarol as of yet.
Federico Valverde, who spent his first few years in Europe with the reserve squad before making the transition to the main team, is the model that the Merengues aim to follow. The Merengues intend to follow the model that was designed for Federico Valverde.
Once the surgery with the midfielder was completed, it is important to emphasize that the relationship between Penarol and Real Madrid has not changed and continues to be great.
However, it is now unknown if Los Blancos would sign Rodriguez on a loan with an option to purchase or on a permanent move. This is because the situation is currently uncertain.
at addition, it is important to acknowledge that the goalkeeping situation at Castilla is also a source of controversy. The continuity of Lucas Cañizares is now uncertain, which may possibly provide a position for the Uruguayan player.
