“25-year-old Real Madrid star is set to Sign for Chelsea this season after the signing of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid
In a significant development, journalist Alberto Pereira says on Onda Cero that Real Madrid goalie Andriy Lunin is close to leaving the club for Chelsea.
Lunin, 25, is one of a handful Real Madrid players facing an unclear future despite receiving a contract renewal offer.
The Ukrainian had a successful breakout season in 2023/24, filling in for Thibaut Courtois.
However, after losing his place in the team shortly after the Belgian’s comeback in the latter parts of the season, Lunin is considering all of his alternatives.
Lunin wants to play.
The shot-stopper recently said in an interview that he would like to stay in the Spanish capital but also wants to play frequently, which may not be possible as long as Courtois is at the club.
“Obviously, I want to stay. But all I can say is that everything went well for Madrid, and it is now in their hands. That’s all I can say about my future,” remarked the keeper.
