The surprising team that has called Lunin, they're offering him the starting spot and he says 'No'

Real Madrid is currently participating in the Club World Cup this summer, aiming to win the first edition of this tournament organized by FIFA. Aside from all that soccer activity, the summer transfer market remains open and the executives led by Florentino Pérez keep receiving transfer offers.

Many clubs, both inside and outside the European soccer elite, have set their sights on several players who make up Santiago Bernabéu locker room. In this regard, Andriy Lunin is a rather recurring name... given the renewed dilemma that arises regarding the future of the first team's goal.

The club's sporting management aims to renew Thibaut Courtois, the undisputed starter, until the summer of 2027. When the Belgian goalkeeper's contract expires, Andriy Lunin will take on that role. The wait could be very long for the talented Ukrainian goalkeeper, so his professional circle may be looking for an alternative to Real Madrid in the immediate market.

These moves haven't gone unnoticed and have led to some surprising approaches. The latest call received by Andriy Lunin comes from a LaLiga club: Real Oviedo, recently promoted to the First Division, has the "dream" of signing the white team's number "13".

There are no chances

The information published by the newspaper MARCA also reveals Lunin's own response to the Asturian club:  "thanks but no, thanks". The interest from Real Oviedo, a club where the Berestin goalkeeper was on loan between January and June 2020, won't make him change his mind about his future. The player isn't considering a change of team.

Not only because of the practically imminent generational change that would establish him as the starting goalkeeper for Real Madrid. His desire is also to remain in Santiago Bernabéu locker room. Andriy Lunin has firmly committed to being among Xabi Alonso's players for the 25/26 season.

The top officials responsible for short-term sporting planning have included him on that list. Andriy Lunin has more than enough reasons to reject Real Oviedo's surprising approach, while Turkish club Galatasaray remains alert to all developments surrounding the current backup goalkeeper.

In any case, Andriy Lunin has decided to stay at Real Madrid for next season. There don't seem to be many approaches that could separate him from the white team, especially when his future at the club presided over by Florentino Pérez positions him as Thibaut Courtois's successor.
