Dortmund's Gregor Kobel reportedly offered to Real Madrid

Borussia Dortmund forward Gregor Kobel, 28, is reportedly the subject of a potential transfer to Real Madrid, according to Spanish sports newspaper AS. The speculation stems from agent efforts aiming to exploit Thibaut Courtois' stalled contract negotiations. Courtois' present agreement is set to conclude the following summer, prompting Real Madrid to push for an extension until 2028.

The Spanish giants are monitoring Kobel's situation, though their involvement has not extended further than this stage. Should Courtois choose to depart from Real Madrid, Kobel would serve as a fitting replacement. Interestingly, Courtois' contract with Dortmund expires in 2028, aligning with the Swiss goalkeeper's likely new deal with Real Madrid.

Valued at approximately €40 million by Transfermarkt.com, Kobel has proven himself as one of the contemporary world's premier goalkeepers.
