At Real, the transfer of a goalkeeper became necessary following regular goalkeeper Courtois – with a market value of 45 million euros, the shared most valuable in the world – tore his anterior cruciate ligament in training. The Belgian needs an operation and will be absent from Los Blancos for months. With Andriy Lunin (24) there is only one other goalkeeper in the professional squad. The Ukrainian has only made 17 appearances in five years.
