Real Madrid 'sucking blood' from Premier League again

Real Madrid plans to continue "attacking" the Premier League transfer market in the summer of 2025

According to Mundo Deportivo , the Spanish Royal team's targets are Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen and Arsenal's David Raya.

This move is part of a long-term strategy to find a successor for Thibaut Courtois, a star who is 32 years old this year and is in the final stages of his career.

Bart Verbruggen, 22, has become Brighton's first-choice after a fierce early battle for places. His consistent form for the Seagulls has attracted the attention of Real Madrid. However, a move to the Santiago Bernabeu would likely see Verbruggen start on the bench, which could be a concern given his solid Premier League position.

Bart Verbruggen is a mainstay for Brighton.

Meanwhile, Brighton have begun looking for potential replacements, with two names being closely watched: Liverpool's reserve goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and Burnley's James Trafford. Both are young and have the potential to develop, which would fit Brighton's transfer philosophy. If the right offer comes in, the Amex club would be willing to part ways with Verbruggen.

In addition to Verbruggen, Real Madrid are also considering David Raya, the 29-year-old goalkeeper currently on Arsenal's books. However, this deal is said to be even more difficult to complete as Raya has just been signed by the Gunners on a long-term contract after an impressive first season on loan from Brentford. Arsenal are unlikely to want to part with the Spanish goalkeeper as they look to strengthen their squad to compete for the title.

Another factor that could pave the way for Real to sign a new player is the future of Andriy Lunin. The Ukrainian has been a loyal backup to Courtois for years, but is considering a move in search of more regular first-team opportunities. If Lunin leaves Madrid this summer, the search for a replacement like Verbruggen will be accelerated.
