Real Madrid’s Squad Overhaul
Real Madrid is in the midst of a significant squad overhaul, with plans for multiple new acquisitions and a number of departures on the horizon. Key figures such as Jesus Vallejo, Lucas Vazquez, and Luka Modric are anticipated to leave the club shortly, indicating a shift in the team’s dynamics.
Andriy Lunin’s Uncertain Future
Among those facing an uncertain future is Andriy Lunin, the 26-year-old backup goalkeeper, who may seek a move to secure more consistent playing time. Interest from Galatasaray has emerged, as the Turkish outfit considers their options in the goalkeeping department this summer.
Galatasaray’s Goalkeeping Plans
However, a report from AS reveals that Lunin is not regarded as their primary target.
Although he has been made available to Galatasaray through the influential Jorge Mendes agency, the club’s focus is currently on acquiring two prominent South American goalkeepers—namely, Brazil’s Alisson Becker and Argentina’s Emiliano Martinez.
Transition at Galatasaray
This interest makes sense given that Galatasaray is preparing to bid farewell to veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, marking the end of an era at the club. As it stands, Lunin’s status as a prospective signing is low on their priority list. Nevertheless, he may attract attention from other clubs as the transfer window progresses, and his departure from Real Madrid seems increasingly likely.
Looking Ahead
Should he indeed leave, the club is likely to enlist a new goalkeeper to challenge Thibaut Courtois for the starting position.
