Andriy Lunin has stepped up for Real Madrid this season following the injury to Thibaut Courtois. However, the question surrounding the Ukrainian goalkeeper is, what happens when Belgium returns between the goalposts?
A recent report links Lunin to Manchester United and PSG; the Spanish giants likely know that there’s a market brewing for the 25-year-old, who is under contract until 2025.
MARCA’s José Félix Díaz reports (h/t Defensa Central) that there’s a cloud of mystery about what happens with Lunin. Díaz reveals that Lunin understands when healthy, and Courtois is the No. 1 goalkeeper.
Real Madrid is reportedly delighted with Lunin’s performance this season. He not only beat Kepa Arrizabalaga for the starting job but also exudes confidence to the rest of the team.
As a result, Los Blancos want to secure him a contract extension, and the club’s leaders are counting on him; that is, they want him to continue. Furthermore, they are trying to make him see that he will be an important part of the project, but at the end of the day, he has the last word.
There will be teams lining up for his services. Whether or not he wants to continue being a backup and wait for his time remains to be seen as Transfermarkt puts Lunin’s transfer value at €16 million.
