Intriguing reports from Mundo Deportivo via Madrid Universal suggest that Andriy Lunin could be on the verge of leaving Real Madrid at the end of the current season.
The 24-year-old player is entering the final year of his contract with Los Blancos this summer, and as of now, there have been no indications of a contract renewal. Despite sporadic appearances, the La Liga giants remain unconvinced by his performances and appear open to parting ways.
Lunin’s rare outing as the starting goalkeeper in the absence of Thibaut Courtois ended in a disappointing defeat with four goals conceded. While the Ukrainian player wasn’t solely responsible for the goals, his long-term prospects at Real Madrid seem uncertain. Last summer, there were talks about Lunin potentially leaving Santiago Bernabeu, but he ultimately stayed with the club.
Throughout this season, Lunin has made 12 appearances across various competitions for Los Blancos. However, his fate might have taken a hit after the challenging season opener. Despite his desire to remain with the La Liga giants, the club seems skeptical about his capabilities. This has raised the possibility of the 24-year-old seeking greener pastures elsewhere come summer.
Manager Ancelotti has decided to place Kepa as the team’s primary goalkeeper, but being relatively new, Kepa needs time to acclimate to the environment. This suggests that Lunin might still get his chance in the goalposts in the upcoming weekend.
As the season progresses, the question of whether Lunin’s journey with Real Madrid will come to an end remains open. The young keeper’s potential departure could signal a significant shift within the team’s dynamics, potentially paving the way for new opportunities and challenges for both the player and the club.
