Carlo Ancelotti and the Blancos management unanimously believe that the Ukrainian has great potential
Madrid Real will insist on extending the contract with the Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrey Lunin.
The club’s management, as well as head coach Carlo Ancelotti, are of the same opinion that the Ukrainian has great potential and will develop his skills in the coming years. Retaining the goalkeeper is a priority goal for the team. It is for this reason that the Madrid team has prepared a new offer for Andrey.
It was reported that Real intends to speed up the negotiation process to extend the contract with the Ukrainian against the backdrop of Thibaut Courtois’ re-departure for a long period. According to some reports, the Belgian will be out for two to four months. Because of this, the club is even considering inviting David De Gea as a free agent in the summer.
It was previously reported that the new agreement will increase wages and stipulate a guaranteed number of games that the Ukrainian will play during the season. At the same time, Lunin will be the reserve goalkeeper, while the “first number” should remain with Courtois.
The Ukrainian’s current agreement runs until the end of the 2024/25 season. If the contract cannot be extended, they will try to sell Lunin in the summer transfer window to exclude the option of leaving for free. A number of clubs are interested in the Ukrainian, including Manchester United.
This season, Lunin played 23 matches (10 clean sheets, 19 goals conceded) for Blancos in all tournaments. With Real Madrid, Andrei won seven trophies, including La Liga, the Champions Cup and the Club World Cup.
Real are confidently leading La Liga, ahead of Barcelona and Girona. Also, Carlo Ancelotti’s team continues to play in the Champions League 2023/24. The Spanish giants will face Manchester City in the quarter finals of the tournament.
