The future of Real Madrid goalie Andriy Lunin is unknown, not because the club does not want him, but because he does not want to be Real Madrid’s second string goalkeeper behind Thibaut Courtois.

There has been a lot of talk about it recently, but the player finally got to the bottom of it in an interview with MARCA. He indicated that, while he wants to stay, his future is up to Real Madrid’s decision.

I wоuld like tо remаin, оf cоurse. Everything went smооthly with Mаdrid, sо nоw it’s up tо them. Thаt’s аll I cаn sаy. Tо be hоnest, thаt’s аll the keeper hаd tо sаy оn his future.

Just like you, I have no idea what’s going to happen. We will begin on Monday, the 15th, rather than when it is my turn, due to the holidays.

I simply must be a part of the squad from the very beginning if that is my desire.

“I would have taken the entire vacation if I didn’t really want to be here, but I’m excited to get back to work because I’m on the greatest team in the world,” he continued.

Reflections on Courtois by LuninLast season, Lunin was instrumental in Madrid’s Champions League victory and was widely considered one of the team’s top players.

Thibaut Courtois has supplanted Andriy Lunin as the starting goalkeeper. Getty Images/Gonzalo Arroyo MorenoWhile discussing his rivals, he conceded that when your opponent is Courtois, you can be sure that you will be ranked second.

It wоuld be wise tо skip the preseаsоn аnd аll thаt if yоu аre certаin yоu wоuld finish deаd lаst аnd never gо tо the tоp.

Everything is going to be complicated, I know that much, due to the fact that Courtois is a world-class goalkeeper.

On the other hand, I feel better and stronger mentally because of this. His goal is to play every position and be the best, although he said that this is a common aspiration among players.

If we’re talking about Courtois, Lunin clarified that he was sick and couldn’t make the team’s journey to London for the Champions League final. In his recollection,

I was terribly sick with a fever and terrible… I felt like I was about to pass out for two days because I was so sick.

I went to Valdebebas, but after testing me, they informed me I was infectious. They excluded me as a safety measure, but I’m glad I could make it in the end.

He elaborated, “I don’t know; Ancelotti didn’t tell me anything because he wasn’t there,” in response to a question regarding his potential final participation. Consult with the supervisor if you like.

Lunin is presently coveted by several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool. Even though Real Madrid has extended a renewal offer, the goalkeeper has made no decisions as of today.
