The Ukrainian has become Real’s main goalkeeper this season
Former head coach of Dynamo, and now coach of the Polish Zaglebie Sosnowiec Alexander Khatskevich shared his opinion about the game of the Madrid goalkeeper Real Madrid And Ukrainian national team Andrey Lunin this season.
“Lunin is moving in the right direction. Now Rebrov and Ancelotti believe in him, he is number 1 in Real Madrid, and for me the Madrid club is the best in the world. Andrey has already proven his worth to everyone. He needs to continue like this and be confident. How many have already written that Lunin needs to change his registration, but he did not give up. This shows that he has a strong character.
There will always be someone more expensive and someone cheaper. In my understanding, Lunin is now more expensive than Courtois,” Khatskevich said.
It was recently 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.
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 a reserve goalkeeper, while the “first number” should remain with Courtois.
This season, Lunin played 23 matches (10 clean sheets, 19 goals conceded) for Blancos in all tournaments. Andrey also played two matches for the Ukrainian national team in the qualifying playoffs for Euro 2024 against Bosnia and Herzegovina (2:1) and Iceland (2:1).
