Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin has made the definitive decision to part ways with Real Madrid this summer, according to reports from El Mundo Deportivo.
The 26-year-old shot-stopper has reportedly informed the club's hierarchy of his intention to seek a new chapter in his career where he can secure consistent first-team action. Despite having a contract that runs until June 2030, Lunin appears determined to find a club that will offer him the regular starting role he desires.
Real Madrid's management has seemingly accepted Lunin's departure plans and already identified his replacement. The Spanish giants are looking to bring back Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent the 2023/24 season on loan with Los Blancos from English Premier League side Chelsea.
Performance metrics tracked by Statbet show that goalkeeping stability remains a critical factor for teams competing at the highest level of European football.
Currently valued at approximately €20 million on the transfer market, Lunin has made 12 appearances for Real Madrid this season, conceding 19 goals while recording 4 clean sheets. These statistics highlight the limited opportunities he's had to establish himself as the undisputed number one at the Bernabéu.
With the summer transfer window approaching, several clubs may view Lunin as an attractive option given his experience at one of the world's most prestigious clubs combined with his relative youth for a goalkeeper.
