The Ukrainian goalkeeper has received offers to leave the Santiago Bernabéu, but Merergue’s board has no intention of giving him away.
The future of Andriy Lunin continues to be a topic of conversation in Real Madrid’s management. Although the Ukrainian goalkeeper recently extended his contract with the white club, this was done with the proviso of assessing the situation at the end of the season. Despite impressive performances when he had to step in as first choice, his continuity is not guaranteed.

Manchester United’s rejected bid
In this context, Manchester United have positioned themselves as one of the clubs interested in securing his services. The English giants are looking for a replacement for André Onana, who could be on his way to AS Monaco. But Old Trafford is not willing to invest significantly.
An initial bid of around 15 million euros has already been rejected by the Spanish champions.
Real Madrid demands significantly more
From the Bernabéu, they believe that Lunin should be valued at between €20 million and €25 million, especially after his decisive role in last year’s Champions League victory, where he proved that he is ready for big challenges. For Real Madrid, parting with a goalkeeper for both the present and future will not be easy without a bid that meets their financial expectations.
According to DefensaCentral, discussions between the English club and the player’s representatives, led by Jorge Mendes, have not progressed beyond preliminary contacts.
AC Milan is monitoring the situation closely
At the same time, AC Milan is keeping an eye on the situation. With Mike Maignan on Chelsea’s radar, the Rossoneri will be ready to act if the Frenchman leaves the San Siro.
After the Club World Cup, a crucial meeting is expected between Lunin and Madrid’s management. He wants to stay, but knows that his fate depends on decisions made in the offices of the Santiago Bernabéu.
