The goalkeeper himself allegedly gave a preliminary agreement to extend the contract
Madrid Real will still be open to the departure of the Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrey Lunin.
The Blancos management may agree to negotiations on the player’s transfer this summer. However, the amount for Lunin should not be less than 30 million euros.
It was recently reported that Lunin will sign a new contract until 2029. The contract will also stipulate an increase in wages. The Ukrainian is ready for rivalry and competition with the Belgian Thibaut Courtois and is confident in his abilities after a successful performance this season.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti announced a systematic rotation of goalkeepers for the next season, given the successful play of Lunin and the recovery from injury of the main goalkeeper in the person of Courtois. Both the coach and management are counting on the Ukrainian goalkeeper, who during the season won competition from Kepa Arrizabalaga, loaned from Chelsea to replace Thibault.
Long negotiations between the Madrid team and Lunin provoked an intensification of contenders for the Ukrainian. So, in April it was reported about offers to the Ukrainian from Manchester United, Bayern and PSG (the Parisians are allegedly ready to pay 18 million euros for the goalkeeper). Juventus also contacted Real about Andrey.
In total, Lunin has already played 30 matches for Los Blancos this season, 12 of them to zero, and missed 28 goals. His four saves helped Ancelotti’s side beat Bayern Munich 2-1 and reach the Champions League final. Courtois played only two matches (both clean sheets), missing almost the entire season due to a knee injury.
In the 2023/2024 Champions League final, Real Madrid will play against Borussia Dortmund, which beat PSG on aggregate. The Champions League final will take place on June 1 in London.
The Madrid club also triumphed in the Spanish Super Cup this season and won La Liga ahead of schedule.
