When Thibaut Courtois picked up the long-term injury last season, Real Madrid brought in Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa on loan. It turned out that the La Liga giant hardly needed to use Kepa, second goalkeeper Andriy Lunin stepped up and filled in for Courtois. The Ukrainian national team goalkeeper stood in 31 games with 10 clean sheets, and contributed greatly to Real collecting both the title in La Liga and the Champions League. Now, however, Lunin is on his way out, where the opportunity is to be exploited in the Premier League.
Because Courtois returned last season at the end of the season and regained his place in the decisive games. Back and injury-free this season, Courtois has regained playing time at Real. Lunin got a taste of the first goalkeeper position and showed he was ready for it at the world’s best club. Then 840 minutes in the match arena in March is unsatisfactory.
Manchester United also do not have a satisfactory situation with Andre Onana. Various English media reports United management has decided to bring in a new goalkeeper, according to Spanish Sport, United have once again turned to Lunin.
The 26-year-old signed a new long-term contract in September, but it is open for exit if Lunin himself wants it. After playing time crumbs this season, this smells of exit. The Spanish media claims Real Madrid are open to selling the goalkeeper for 20 million euros.
Sounds like a very relevant candidate for Manchester United. A goalkeeper who can make the big difference.
