Real Madrid has been very questioned this season, but what no one has doubted at any time is the quality of the white team in goal. Whites are lucky to have two of the best goalkeepers in the world under sticks. We talk about Thibaut Courtois and Andrey Lunin. A great duo that, however, does not seem to live together anymore.
Lunin wants to leave
Lunin’s situation in Real Madrid could be about to explode. The Ukrainian goal, who arrived at the very young white team, with 19 years, has demonstrated multiple occasions to live up to Real Madrid, but the shadow of Courtois has always been too long until it reaches the point that Lunin has realized that if he continues in the Santiago Bernabéu he will never play a final.
And it is not surprising to think that when last year, before the long -term decline of Thibaut, to Real Madrid to the Champions League final doing a great season. However, before Borussia Dortmund and with Courtois already recovered, Ancelotti opted for the Belgian who, in the end, would be crucial.
He surprised many that after that, Lunin chose to renew with the white team. This was what I had and Ancelotti gave him the Copa del Rey. Once again, the goal took the team to the final against Barça, but did not play it. While it is true that he had been injured a few weeks, again the Belgian was chosen to be under sticks.
In recent days it has been known that the Lunin agent has already communicated to Real Madrid the different future offers that Ukrainian has. From the white team, the possibility of the player to leave in summer is not received if a good offer arrives and in fact it has already begun to move in the market.
War open by Joan Garcia
In the search for a new goalkeeper before Lunin’s possible departure and thinking about the future retreat of Courtois, Real Madrid has a clear favorite: Joan García, Espanyol goalkeeper. The great demonstrations of the Spanish goalkeeper this season have placed him as one of the best goalkeepers in the competition. That is why the white team wants to put the network on the player and has a plan for it. He wants to sign it now, but keep assigning and having prominence and minutes, as long as he does not retire Courtois.
The strategy is clear to get ahead of competition, which is not little. The fight for Sallent’s, with a termination clause of 25 million euros, has more and more contenders. All the greats of the Premier, with the exception of City and Liverpool, have it on the agenda with the arsenal in the lead. Nor does the Bayer Leverkusen lose sight of him.
An old acquaintance is shot
Real Madrid, aware of Courtois’s age and that Lunin’s future plans can be far from Santiago Bernabéu, has the radar activated in search of a new goalkeeper and the opportunities that may arise in the market. That is where it enters Kepa Arrizabalaga.
In this direction it seems to go ‘relief’, which has stated the following: «If Lunin leaves, Real Madrid would be happy if Kepa returned, since the player left a good impression in Florentino and the locker room». The Basque goal is signing an outstanding campaign with the Bournemouth, where he plays as ceded by Chelsea, a club with which the ‘cherries’ must negotiate if they want to retain it.
