Andriy Lunin's continuity at Real Madrid isn't clear at all. Though he recently renewed his contract until 2030, the reality is that all parties have left the door open to a possible departure. The problem for the Ukrainian is that he continues relegated to the bench, however, he could soon receive an offer to leave and become important in a Champions League team.
Bild has discovered in Germany that Chelsea is interested in moving the goalkeeper market and has thought about Gregor Kobel from Dortmund. To convince the German club, the Blues are willing to spend nearly 70 million euros, trying to complete a significant operation. We're talking about an almost irresistible proposal, which would indirectly affect Lunin.
If Kobel goes to Chelsea, Dortmund will start the search for a new goalkeeper, and all eyes are on Andriy Lunin. Defensa Central has indicated that the doors to a starting position in the German team would open for him, being a very difficult proposal for the merengue goalkeeper to reject. At Real Madrid the doors are open, as long as the negotiation is good from an economic standpoint.
Florentino Has Andriy Lunin's Replacement Ready: It's a Bargain
Madrid-Barcelona has learned that Real Madrid is closely following any kind of news regarding Joan García, Espanyol's goalkeeper. At 23 years old, he's been one of the most outstanding goalkeepers in LaLiga this season and his release clause makes him quite a bargain. Currently, it's set at 30 million euros, but it would drop considerably if the Pericos are relegated.
After 17 matches, Espanyol is in relegation positions with only 15 points. If they end up dropping to the Second Division, Joan García's release clause would drop to half: from the current 30 million to just 15. This figure makes him quite a bargain and has made Florentino Pérez stay alert to any kind of update regarding his contract.
In any case, what Madrid-Barcelona has also learned is that, given the great relations with Espanyol, Florentino wouldn't pay Joan García's clause if they end up relegating. The idea would be to negotiate a slightly higher price or even the possibility of adding Real Madrid players to the operation. It's early, and there's time ahead, although the president doesn't miss a detail.
Everything could change in the coming months, and Andriy Lunin is aware that he might be facing his last moments as a Real Madrid player.
