Real Madrid is preparing for player departures to facilitate new signings, with several candidates identified. The club anticipates either Fran Garcia or Ferland Mendy will move on, while Rodrygo Goes has been strongly linked with a Premier League transfer. Despite speculation, Andriy Lunin is expected to remain in the Spanish capital.
Lunin, a Real Madrid player as 2018, has been an integral part of the first team for the past five years, accumulating 62 appearances. He is widely regarded as a highly capable backup to Thibaut Courtois.
However, his consistent performances have fueled rumors of a potential move to a club where he could secure a starting position. While Manchester United was previously mentioned as a suitor, recent reports suggest a move to Villarreal is being considered, as the spanish club seeks an experienced goalkeeper with champions League experience.
Real Madrid Unwilling to Consider Lunin Offers
Contrary to earlier speculation, neither Manchester United nor Villarreal will be signing Lunin this summer. According to Diario AS, Real Madrid has no intention of entertaining offers for their Ukrainian goalkeeper. Lunin himself is committed to staying and competing for his place alongside courtois, who is expected to sign a contract extension shortly.
Lunin extended his contract last summer, securing his future with the club until 2030. While his long-term commitment remains to be seen, he has no immediate plans to depart, providing Real Madrid with a valuable and skilled backup option.
With Lunin’s future at the club confirmed, attention now shifts to other potential departures. Fran Garcia appears to be the most likely candidate to leave,with AC Milan reportedly showing strong interest in acquiring him as a replacement for Theo Hernandez,who recently transferred to Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal.
