The injury to Thibaut Courtois at midday on Thursday, which came as a result of a strange movement in his left knee in another training session at Valdebebas, shocked the Madrid fans, starting with the players, followed by the coaches and ending with the fans who could not believe it. The directors remained calm and when the injury was confirmed, they set about looking for the Belgian’s replacement and the favourite, after listening to and analysing many options, was Yassine Bono. The Sevilla goalkeeper was very close to accepting an offer from Saudi Arabian football, but the operation has been halted in its tracks by the emergence of Real Madrid. Bono (32) is seduced by the idea of wearing the white shirt and has made this known to Sevilla’s directors.
The injury to Thibaut Courtois at midday on Thursday, which came as a result of a strange movement in his left knee in another training session at Valdebebas, shocked the Madrid fans, starting with the players, followed by the coaches and ending with the fans who could not believe it. The directors kept calm and when the injury was confirmed, they set about looking for the Belgian’s replacement and the favourite, after listening to and analysing many options, was Yassine Bono. The Sevilla goalkeeper was very close to accepting an offer from Saudi Arabian football, but the operation has been halted in its tracks by the emergence of Real Madrid. Bono (32) is seduced by the idea of wearing the white shirt and has made this known to Sevilla’s directors.
As MARCA said, Bono’s is not the only name that has appeared on the table at Valdebebas, as proposals such as David de Gea, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Lloris and Keylor Navas have been heard. The idea from the outset has been clear: to find a deal without excessive financial outlay. The first idea was even to find a loan deal, but as soon as the option of the Sevilla goalkeeper came up, the spotlight turned to the Moroccan.
Sevilla are open to a sale
Sevilla need to make a transfer to try to normalise their financial situation in order to be able to bring in more players for the many challenges that lie ahead for Mendilibar’s side. The problem lies in the fact that Sevilla were looking for a transfer to improve their balance sheet and Real Madrid are looking for a loan deal.
Sevilla were talking about a deal in the region of 20 million euros, far from the 50 million euros that is the cancellation clause. Real Madrid were not planning to make that outlay, but the reality is that the situation after Courtois’ knee cruciate fracture invites such a move. The club would prefer a loan deal and that is the current stage of talks between the two clubs.
Bono is to Ancelotti’s liking, as is Kepa, who is close to a move to Bayern. Real Madrid’s emergence on the goalkeeping market has stalled a number of operations and many of those involved are awaiting the Madrid side’s final decision, but it is certain that the favourite after the morning earthquake is none other than Bono.
