Arsenal interested in signing €25 million-rated Real Madrid star | OneFootball

Less than a week remains before the champions of Europe return to training at the Valdebebas. As the defending champions of both La Liga and the UCL, there will be pressure on the dressing room heading into the new season.

Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, however, will see significant changes ahead of the new campaign. Players like Toni Kroos and Nacho Fernandez have left the club while others, including Kylian Mbappe and Endrick, are set to arrive.

The likes of Andriy Lunin and Dani Ceballos fall into a third category with an uncertain future, and journalist Rodra P provides an update on the same.

Interest from the Premier League

According to the Spanish journalist, Arsenal are interested in signing Lunin this summer. Mikel Arteta’s side are looking for a new goalkeeper and the 25-year-old is one of the names on their list.

With Thibaut Courtois injured for most of the previous season, Lunin stepped up and eventually established himself as a mainstay under Ancelotti in Madrid.

His consistency earned him recognition from across the globe and placed him as one of the best in the business.

For the 2024-25 season, however, it is clear that the Ukrainian star will not enjoy as much prominence with Courtois back in the team. A departure, thus, has emerged as a serious possibility.

Lunin’s commitment

Despite the interest from other clubs, the journalist further reports that Lunin has assured Real Madrid that he will be available on 15th July, the first day of pre-season. In fact, the player is eager to start working ahead of schedule.

There is, however, doubt over his future considering that he is yet to respond to Real Madrid’s renewal proposal that was sent at the end of last season which would extend his contract until 2029.

Should Lunin leave, Real Madrid remains confident as they see Kepa Arrizabalaga as a decent option to fill the void provided he arrives on a free transfer. All eyes, thus, are on the Ukrainian star’s camp in anticipation of his final decision.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
