Real Madrid Weighs Bono Transfer Amid Africa Cup of Nations Concerns

Goalkeeper Yassine "Bono" Bounou could join Real Madrid to replace the seriously injured Thibaut Courtois. But the Madrid club could backtrack.
Bono’s potential participation in the Africa Cup of Nations with the Moroccan national team poses a problem for the Madrid club, analyzes AS. If Morocco reaches the final, Bono would be absent for 5 league matches, including a return against Atlético de Madrid, as well as 4 cup matches if Real Madrid reaches the semi-finals and the Spanish Super Cup.
Real Madrid is aware of the potential of Morocco, a semi-finalist at the World Cup in Qatar, but the goalkeeper’s commitment to the Atlas Lions during the Africa Cup of Nations does not fully convince the club. Bono’s absence could also affect the team’s participation in the UEFA Champions League round of 16, which begins on February 13.
Faced with this delicate situation, Real Madrid coach Ancelotti is counting on Lunin. The outcome of Real Madrid’s "Goalkeeper Operation" to make up for Courtois’ absence remains uncertain.
