Blancos intend to find a common language with the Ukrainian on a new agreement as soon as possible
Real intends to speed up the negotiation process to extend the contract with the Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrey Lunin.
Both the club management and team coach Carlo Ancelotti are interested in keeping the player. Another factor that contributes to speeding up the negotiations was the repeated long-term departure of Real Madrid’s main goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
It was reported that the new agreement will increase wages and stipulate a guaranteed number of games that the Ukrainian will play per 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.
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 Girona and Barcelona. Also, Carlo Ancelotti’s team continues to play in the Champions League 2023/24.
