According to information obtained from COPE, Arsenal is reportedly considering making a move to acquire the services of Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin during the summer.
Following his arrival at Real Madrid in 2018, Lunin has recently finished a season that was highly successful.
Taking advantage of the serious injury that Thibaut Courtois, the No. 1 goalkeeper, sustained, the Ukrainian star has earned the trust of coach Carlo Ancelotti. He has made a total of 30 appearances across all competitions, keeping 12 clean sheets, and making a significant contribution to Los Blancos’ success in winning La Liga, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Champions League in the 2023/24 season.
The Santiago Bernabeu team is planning to reward Lunin with a new contract and a significant increase in salary after witnessing the exceptional performance of the 25-year-old player. However, according to Spanish media, the goalkeeper who was born in 1999 is still hesitant with the request from the White Vultures. This is because he is concerned about having to sit on the bench for the upcoming season. This is especially concerning when considering the fact that Courtois has recovered from an injury and was consistently starting at the end of the previous season.
According to sources from COPE, Arsenal is going to “take the bait” in order to convince the Ukrainian star to travel to England to play football. This is because Arsenal is aware that the situation between Lunin and Real is not a pleasant one.
Arsenal is targeting Lunin.
The Gunners will likely accept the sale of Aaron Ramsdale in this summer’s market in the context that the English star does not want to continue playing the supporting role of David Raya, so coach Mikel Arteta wants the board of directors to recruit another quality goalkeeper. to create direct competition in wooden frames.
According to Spanish media, 25 million euros may be the minimum target that Real wants to earn if it sells Lunin.
