TA: Real Madrid believes that Connat is willing to join, and privately highly recommends signing him

Hupu September 11th TheAthleticUK Real Madrid team answered the fans' questions.

Apart from Ibrahima Konath, are there any other candidates in the central defender position? Do you know if the club has considered Mickey Van Devin?

Are there any mid-term plans for the goalkeeper position? What goalkeepers are the club paying attention to?

Hello, Javier! I know your initial question was asked in Spanish, but hopefully you don't mind me answering other audience questions in English.

I haven't heard anything about Vandervin, but it's different for Konath. The Liverpool French centre-back, who is highly respected behind Real Madrid, is one of Europe's top defenders and his contract expires next summer.

I don't think he is a real choice in this summer transfer market, although I respect other journalists' information.

Real Madrid believes Conat is willing to play for them, but we don't know how much effort Liverpool has spent on renewing the contract. Connat may be in a dilemma in the negotiations until he makes the choice that suits him best.

As for goalkeepers, Luis Llopis, who worked with Zinedine Zidane, was rehired after Carlo Ancelotti returned in 2021. He regularly submits reports on goalkeeper candidates, but none of them have been seriously considered due to the current situation of the team.

33-year-old Tibo Courtois has just renewed his contract until 2027 (although specific details have not been announced yet), and Andre Lunin also renewed his contract until 2030 last year.

As for potential candidates, Real Madrid B goalkeeper Fran Gonzalez, who debuted last season, is expected to become a strong candidate for the first team. He is 20 years old and still has a lot of room for growth.

When Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga return, do you think this will affect the situation of Alda Guillail? Is it a plan to keep Gully's starting lineup or something?

Players who return from injury will have an impact on Gulaire's situation. Bellingham is recovering from shoulder surgery and he will likely replace Guiller or Mastantuno, depending on the opponent.

Alonso is very confident in Camavenga, so he may get plenty of playing time.

But Guillail is a key player under Alonso and will continue to start in many games, especially if the coach arranges a double striker instead of a three striker, which will reduce competition in the midfield.
