The goalkeeping situation at Real Madrid has been one of the club’s most discussed topics in recent months. Under Xabi Alonso, Thibaut Courtois remains the undisputed starter, having played every single game so far. Meanwhile, Andriy Lunin, despite his key contributions over the past two seasons, has seen his role reduced to a secondary one.

The third name in the mix is Fran González, who made his first-team debut last season at the Bernabéu against Valencia. This year, however, the young goalkeeper has gone from being Madrid’s third-choice option to a vital piece of Arbeloa’s Castilla.

González also represented Spain’s U-20 national team at the recent World Cup in Chile, where he was instrumental in leading them to the quarterfinals before their elimination against Colombia. His standout performances have generated excitement among Real Madrid fans, and according to AS, the club is extremely pleased with his development.

The World Cup has further solidified his standing within the club, as Real Madrid sees him as one of the most promising goalkeepers for the future.
