They reveal Courtois's 'betrayal' of Lunin that puts the goal in jeopardy

The 23/24 season was Andriy Lunin's best at Real Madrid due to his starting role following Courtois's injury. However, with the Belgian goalkeeper's recovery, Lunin's future has become filled with uncertainty. Doubts have grown after Courtois's advice to Fran González, the third goalkeeper available to Real Madrid.

According to what we know at Defensa Central, Lunin has kept himself at Real Madrid to compete for the starting position. Although Courtois has Xabi's trust, this hasn't stopped the Ukrainian goalkeeper's intentions. However, the advice Courtois has given to Fran González could indicate an uncertain future for Lunin.

Although Fran has confirmed that he has a great relationship with both Courtois and Lunin, this could change. The Ukrainian, who has already received offers to leave Real Madrid, has refused due to his desire to become a protagonist again. Even so, given the closeness between Courtois and Fran, Lunin could consider leaving in a future transfer window.

Lunin's destination

Having been part of Real Madrid since 2018, Andriy Lunin has proved his worth whenever he has been given the opportunity. At 26 years old, the Ukrainian has established himself as a reliable and solid goalkeeper. Just last season, with the 1,320 min. (1.320 minutos) he played, Lunin managed to keep 6 clean sheets.

Meanwhile, Fran González has barely had any minutes with Real Madrid. The 20-year-old goalkeeper, who has come up through the club's youth academy since 2022, had his chance last season. Playing against Valencia on matchday 30 of LaLiga, Fran played the entire match, delivering a solid performance despite the defeat at Bernabéu.

Although Fran remains part of Castilla, his closeness to Courtois puts Lunin at risk. The goalkeeper has made remarkable progress over the past few years, being drafted by Spain's under-21 national team. An important event that shows the bright future Fran has as Real Madrid's goalkeeper.

The dispute against Fran

With Courtois being 33 years old, his age has already started to become an important factor for Real Madrid. While Lunin is expected to be his replacement, the team could opt for Fran González. Since he is younger than the Ukrainian and has come up through the club's youth academy,
