The transfer market is moving and Real Madrid is the protagonist. It is not Mbappé, Haaland or Rüdiger.

In the Federation he is considered the future goalkeeper of the National Team and it is an attempt by Madrid, after the one frustrated by Kepa Arrizabalaga at the time (Zidane ruled out the signing of the then Athletic goalkeeper, for not wanting to create a conflict with Keylor Navas, before Chelsea entered the scene), to get hold of a goalkeeper whose horizon has a clear aroma of Absolute.
Ferran is a tall goalkeeper (1.87m), with good reflexes and a solid aerial game. The greats of Spanish football had been following him for a long time and now he will be able to continue polishing himself at La Fábrica Blanca, where he will be on horseback between Castilla and the first youth team. The first-team goal is assured by Thibaut Courtois, but this addition shows a clear intention to have the Belgian’s replacement at home, instead of having to go out desperately looking for him when the time comes. Madrid bets on Ferran Quetglas and Ferran Quetglas bets on Madrid.
