Real Madrid ‘open to selling’ Andriy Lunin this summer | OneFootball

Real Madrid could sanction Andriy Lunin’s departure this summer, with widespread changes to the first team and coaching staff expected. Several senior players, including Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga and Gonzalo Garcia, have been linked with moves.

According to MD, the club are open to facilitating an exit for the Ukrainian goalkeeper despite four years remaining on his contract. Lunin has started regularly in recent weeks because Thibaut Courtois is sidelined with injury, yet his prospects beyond this season look uncertain.

At 27, he is approaching the stage where he will want to play every week, and if he seeks that next season, Madrid would not stand in his way as long as a suitable offer arrives. He has attracted strong interest before, so his availability is likely to alert suitors.

The hierarchy are understood to see goalkeeper as a position that can be upgraded, set against their search for Courtois’ long-term successor. It is not viewed as urgent. Courtois, 33, has endured regular injury problems, so succession planning is under consideration.

One thing is certain, it will not be Lunin. Attention will turn to identifying that successor.
