In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Real Madrid have set their sights on Rayo Vallecano custodian Stole Dimitrievski. It has been revealed that Los Blancos are eyeing a move to land the North Macedonia international.
Dimitrievski’s Impressive Run Of Form In Spanish Football
Dimitrievski has put in a few eye-catching performances in between the sticks for Rayo Vallecano this season. The 29-year-old has conceded 49 goals and secured nine clean sheets in 37 matches for the Spanish club during this campaign across all competitions.
The Kumanovo-born talent deserves some credit for averaging 0.8 clearances and 4.3 long balls per 90 minutes in La Liga. However, he has been sloppy with his ball distribution after making just 53.7% of his attempted passes in the Spanish top tier (stats via whoscored).
His current deal at Rayo Vallecano will run out at the end of next season. Hence, the Madrid giants will have a good shot at landing the La Liga goalie on the cheap in the upcoming transfer window.
Is Dimitrievski A Good Choice For Real Madrid?
Dimitrievski can be a safe pair of hands for his team when he is playing with confidence on the pitch. He has got decent reflexes under his belt that help him make a few solid saves at the back. The North Macedonia custodian is a decent handler of the ball as well but has to find a way to improve his ball distribution from the back. However, it remains to be seen whether he can handle the growing expectations around a top club like Real Madrid.
We can expect Dimitrievski to add more depth to Carlo Ancelotti’s match-day squad next season. He would even serve as an ideal replacement for Andriy Lunin who is facing an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
With all things considered, Dimitrievski will be a great choice for the Madrid giants to consider when the transfer window reopens later this month. At 29, he has already got a wealth of experience under his belt and is well-equipped to fill in as a good understudy to Thibaut Courtois at the Madrid club in the coming seasons.
