It looks like the Ukrainian is ready to compete with Thibaut Courtois
Ukrainian goalkeeper Real Andrey Lunin spoke briefly about the situation with his current employment contract with Blancos and his wishes for the upcoming season.
“I have made myself clear. I want to stay at Real Madrid and I want to play.”
Real is interested in extending Andriy’s contract, which currently runs until the summer of 2025. The Blancos continue to see the Ukrainian as a backup goalkeeper for Thibaut Courtois.
Lunin himself was not sure about the need to extend the contract. His decision was influenced by Courtois’s appearance in the starting lineup for the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund (2:0), when the Belgian had just recovered from a long-term injury.
In April, it was reported that Lunin had received offers from Manchester United, Bayern Munich and PSG (the Parisians were allegedly ready to pay 18 million euros for the goalkeeper).
Representatives of Atletico, Betis, Juventus, Aston Villa, Arsenal and Newcastle also contacted Real, with the latter two reportedly ready to pay 25 million euros for the Ukrainian.
Manchester City is also considering the Ukrainian as an alternative to Ederson. Another contender for Andrey is Liverpool.
Recently, information emerged that the Ukrainian will hold a repeat meeting with representatives of the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund to sort out employment offers. Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nasr and Al-Ittihad allegedly showed interest in Lunin. However, according to Sport Arena, Andrey is not interested in moving to Saudi Arabia.
Lunin played 31 matches for Real in all tournaments in the 2023/24 season. The goalkeeper conceded 32 goals and kept 12 clean sheets.
Real Madrid became Spanish champions last season and triumphed in the Champions League.
