Journalists learned about secret agreements between Arrizabalaga and the Madrid coaching staff.
Andrei Lunin didn’t get the job as Real Madrid’s main goalkeeper after Thibaut Courtois’ injury due to mysterious deals behind him.
According to The Athletic, the Madrid club’s coaching staff had previously promised Spanish goalkeeper Kepi Arrizabalaga the place of main goalkeeper during transfer negotiations.
They say that it is only thanks to this that the capital of Spain was able to attract the Chelsea footballer to their place, because Kepa prefers Bayern Munich, with whom he talked before.
It was also reported that Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrei Lunin learned about these events from the press.
At the same time, the club’s management is very satisfied with Lunin and would prefer him to be the main goalkeeper. In Madrid, Lunin’s hard work and professionalism were always noticed, even after unsuccessful matches. The football player trains regularly every weekend.
But Carlo Ancelotti is definitely against the candidacy of the Ukrainian. The Italian coach has long noticed Lunin’s shortcomings as Real’s second goalkeeper. Especially after the Club World Cup in February, when the Ukrainian replaced the injured Courtois.
Note that due to Arrizabalaga’s injury, Andrei played the last four matches for Real in the starting lineup. Among them he conceded three goals, two of them in the last Champions League match against Napoli.
We remind you that Lunin was previously included in the symbolic team of La Liga from WhoScored.
