Jorge Mendes pressures Lunin with a tempting offer to leave Real Madrid

Andriy Lunin is experiencing a key moment in his career. Although his desire is to stay at Real Madrid, his agent, Jorge Mendes, is making moves for a possible departure.

The Portuguese representative believes that Lunin needs more prominence. That's why he has already started presenting offers.

One of the strongest is from Galatasaray. The Turkish club is very interested in signing the Ukrainian goalkeeper.

Lunin is under contract with Real Madrid until June 30, 2030. That complicates any operation.

The goalkeeper wants to stay. He feels comfortable at the club and has performed well when he has had minutes.

Jorge Mendes thinks that his client should play regularly. He insists on exploring options outside Madrid.

Galatasaray, the most persistent club

Galatasaray has shown the greatest interest. The Turkish side is looking for a starting goalkeeper with guarantees to compete in Europe.

The reports they have are positive. They see Lunin as a young, solid goalkeeper with experience in high-level matches.

The club would be willing to make a significant offer, both financially and in sporting terms.

For now, there is no official proposal to Real Madrid. Talks are already underway.

Lunin doesn't want to move... for now

Despite the interest and Mendes's efforts, Lunin isn't considering an immediate departure.

He's willing to fight for a spot. He wants to show that he can compete head-to-head with Courtois.

Real Madrid values his professionalism. In fact, they won't put him on the market unless the player requests it.

The club wants him to remain as the second goalkeeper and trust him for the long term.

Mendes, however, will keep working. His goal is to find him a destination where he can be a regular starter.

If the situation doesn't change and Lunin continues without minutes, he could reconsider his position in the coming weeks.

Everything will depend on Xabi Alonso's sporting decisions in the preseason. For now, Lunin's future is open.
