Real Madrid considers Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin as Courtois replacement

Real Madrid is reportedly evaluating Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin as a potential long-term replacement for Thibaut Courtois. At 34, Courtois continues to perform at a high level, but with age and an injury history, the club is actively planning for his successor. Trubin, 24, has caught Madrid's attention following notable performances, including a last-minute goal against them last season. Currently, clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and PSG are also tracking Trubin, indicating a competitive pursuit. His previous connection with Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, who recently worked at Benfica, may enhance Trubin's candidacy.
