Roncero announces a sale during Real Madrid - Real Sociedad: 'He's leaving'

Tomás Roncero announces a possible sale at Real Madrid for this summer: nobody expected it

Saturday's match against Real Sociedad marked the farewell of Modric and Ancelotti at Bernabéu. In the case of the Italian, he will never again sit on Real Madrid's bench to manage the team. It is expected that Lucas Vázquez and Jesús Vallejo will not play again at Chamartín's stronghold.

However, there might be some other departures. Tomás Roncero, deputy director of Diario AS, raised the possibility that Lunin might also leave next summer.

"The surprise is that Lunin plays instead of Courtois because everything indicates that he will be transferred this summer. I think he does it as a farewell to the Ukrainian," he stated during the broadcast of the match on Cadena Ser's Carrusel Deportivo.

The truth is that it was strange that Ancelotti did not put Thibaut Courtois in the last commitment before the fans. Both the Belgian and the Ukrainian have active contracts, but nothing can be completely ruled out. In fact, the technical department keeps an eye on possible replacements, such as Joan García.

In Valdebebas, they are very grateful to Lunin for his commitment and professionalism. Moreover, whenever he has played, he has performed excellently and was an important part in winning the Fifteenth Champions. However, it is difficult for him to get minutes because he competes against the best in the world under the posts.

Thus, the high-ranking officials of the institution perfectly understand and comprehend the desire he might have to leave. He has a contract until 2030, but Florentino would listen to offers for him.

It is not overlooked

The goalkeeper issue is not a priority as reinforcing the defense is. Despite this, no one forgets the situation that might arise, so the sports management is working on the future.

At the moment, it may seem surprising that there are movements in the merengue goal, although in a few months it might not be strange. Therefore, Calafat, head of scouts, will keep up with the situation of several goalkeepers. The one they like the most, however, is the aforementioned Joan García.
