Jorge Mendes wants to repeat the Luis Figo case with a Real Madrid player

The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is one of the longest-standing and most historic in this sport. While the disputes are usually on the field, both teams have faced off in the transfer markets. The Luis Figo case is the perfect example of how far this rivalry can go.

With this operation still in mind, Jorge Mendes intends to repeat it. The only difference this time is that Real Madrid would be the one affected by it. The Portuguese agent plans for goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, Courtois's backup, to leave the Merengue team to join Barcelona.

A completely complicated operation to carry out due to Real Madrid itself. Although the club would facilitate the departure of its goalkeeper to any team, Barcelona is the only one that is prohibited.

Jorge Mendes's Intentions

Having a terrible relationship with Real Madrid, Jorge Mendes has tried to take revenge on the club. The operation for Andriy Lunin is the agent's most recent attempt to exact revenge against the Merengue team. Aware of Barcelona's need for a backup goalkeeper, Laporte and Mendes have held talks about Lunin.

Having demonstrated his quality last season during Courtois's injury, Lunin is a reliable goalkeeper. At 26 years old and with a contract until 2030, Real Madrid has asked him to be patient to achieve his goal of being the team's starting goalkeeper.

However, with his desire to stand out, the club was clear that it would not complicate matters in case of his departure. A situation that Jorge Mendes saw as the perfect opportunity to carry out another case like Luis Figo's.

A Plan Without a Future

Despite Jorge Mendes's clear intentions, Real Madrid is confident in keeping Lunin for more seasons. Under the promise of being a starter, the Ukrainian has been patient. However, if he were to leave in the future, it would be to any destination except Barcelona.
