Real Madrid are considering the sale of goalkeeper Andrij Lunin if he does not accept the new contract offered to him in March. The Ukrainian shot-stopper’s future at the club remains in doubt, with the possibility of an exit this summer becoming increasingly likely.
Contract Negotiations Stalled
Lunin, who has been with Real Madrid since 2018, has yet to agree to the terms of the new contract proposed by the club. The 24-year-old has expressed a desire to remain at the Santiago Bernabéu, but the lack of progress in negotiations has prompted the club to explore other options.
Kepa Arrizabalaga’s Potential Return
Meanwhile, Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent last season on loan at Real Madrid from Chelsea, is keen on a return to the Spanish capital. The 29-year-old goalkeeper is currently waiting for an opportunity to rejoin the team, as he has expressed his willingness to come back.
Background on Kepa and Lunin
- Kepa Arrizabalaga: Returned to Chelsea after a loan spell at Real Madrid. He has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer.
- Andrij Lunin: Joined Real Madrid in 2018 and has been a backup goalkeeper. He started several matches last season when Kepa was sidelined.
Implications for Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s decision on Lunin’s future will likely impact their goalkeeping options for the upcoming season. If Lunin departs, the club may look to secure Kepa’s return or explore other alternatives in the transfer market.
