""All clubs are delighted to have their players called up to the national team, every single one. And I don't know a single player who doesn't want to come. But this is normal because it enhances the value of both the club and the player," he told AS.T "he national team is a media showcase that gives you worldwide recognition. That said, I'm completely impervious to comments. Our decisions are ours, and I bring in those I believe are the best."
"" We have some very good goalkeepers, some of the best in the world... and of course, Joan García too. Right now, we're focusing on Unai, Raya, and Remiro, but we'll see what happens between now and June. "At that point, we'll make decisions that some may like more than others, but I'm sure they'll be the best ones for me.""
Alejandro Balde is included on Spain's preliminary World Cup 2026 list and remains under consideration despite recent national-team omissions. Carreras is also on the preliminary list and has represented Spain at youth levels. Selection aims to bring in players judged to be the best and decisions are maintained independently of external commentary. National-team call-ups enhance club and player value and provide worldwide recognition. Goalkeeper competition is intense, with five or six top goalkeepers vying for places. Current goalkeeper focus is on Unai, Raya and Remiro, while Robert Sánchez and Leo Román are not being discussed. Final squad choices will be made ahead of June.
