Real Madrid targets Ewen Jaouen as potential successor to Courtois

Summary

Real Madrid is evaluating a significant summer transfer window, eyeing at least one new center-back and midfielder, along with potential changes in goalkeeping. The club has identified Ewen Jaouen, a 20-year-old goalkeeper from Stade Reims, as a long-term successor to Thibaut Courtois. Jaouen completed the 2025/26 season with 15 clean sheets in 34 Ligue 2 matches. His performance has attracted interest from Chelsea and Newcastle United, and a transfer fee of around €25 million is expected.
