According to Mundo Deportivo, Courtois' contract will expire in June next year, and Real Madrid's search for a replacement has hit a roadblock after target goalkeeper Luca Brumans was signed by Liverpool for €35 million.

Courtois is one of the world's best goalkeepers. The Belgian has been instrumental for Real Madrid on countless occasions with crucial saves, and his standing at the club transcends what any contract can measure. However, with his contract expiring in June next year and at 34 years old, his career is inevitably entering a phase that may be drawing toward its end. For this reason, while Real Madrid plans to renew his contract for at least one more season, the club has quietly begun searching for a successor from the outset. However, this has proven to be no easy task.

One goalkeeper on Real Madrid's shortlist shares a remarkable background with Courtois: both are Belgian, both came through Genk's youth academy, and both possess tremendous potential. However, this prospect has already been snapped up by Liverpool for €35 million.

The goalkeeper is Luca Brumans. The 18-year-old is currently the first-choice keeper for the Flemish side and will continue to play for Genk this season on loan. Standing 2 meters tall, Brumans is highly regarded at Real Madrid, and according to Cadena COPE, the club was initially considering signing him in the coming months.

However, this time Liverpool moved first and secured him. As a result, Real Madrid must now adjust its targets at Valdebebas, and an already short list of candidates has been reduced by one name.
