Liverpool are eyeing a move for Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin from Real Madrid, according to a report from Spanish publication SPORT. The Reds have already made contact regarding a potential summer transfer, and it’s expected to be an intriguing development.
The 25-year-old Lunin played a crucial role for Real Madrid last season, stepping up in the absence of Thibaut Courtois. With Courtois set to return from injury next season, Lunin is unlikely to retain his position as a regular starter.
Seeking regular playing time, Lunin might find the opportunity to join Liverpool, one of the world’s biggest clubs, quite appealing. However, Liverpool already have Alisson Becker, one of the top goalkeepers globally, which means Lunin could struggle to secure a regular starting spot at Anfield.
Liverpool’s interest in Lunin stems from their need for a reliable backup goalkeeper. With Caoimhin Kelleher expected to leave in search of more playing time and Adrian already having departed, Liverpool need a solid option to support Alisson, and Lunin fits the bill perfectly.
Despite Liverpool’s interest, they have yet to make a concrete proposal. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are keen to retain Lunin and have offered him a contract renewal. Whether Lunin will accept the new deal with Los Blancos remains uncertain.
In summary, while Liverpool are keen to bring in Lunin as a backup goalkeeper, much depends on whether they can offer him sufficient game time and if he will decide to stay with Real Madrid or seek new opportunities elsewhere.
