Real Madrid need to move first players on in order to be able to make further signings, and candidates have been identified. One of Fran Garcia or Ferland Mendy is expected to leave, while Rodrygo Goes has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League. There has also been speculation about Andriy Lunin, although he is set to stay in the Spanish capital.
Lunin has been a Real Madrid player since 2018, and he has been involved with the first team for the last five years. During his time, he has made 62 appearances, and he is widely considered to be an excellent backup to Thibaut Courtois.
However, his performances have led to speculation that he could leave Real Madrid to be a starter elsewhere. The 26-year-old has been linked with Manchester United, but more recently, a move to Villarreal has been rumoured, with the Yellow Submarine seeking an experienced Champions League goalkeeper.
However, neither club will be signing Lunin this summer, with Diario AS reporting that Real Madrid will not listen to offers for their Ukrainian goalkeeper. The player himself also intends to stay and fight for his place alongside Courtois, who will sign a new contract in the very near future.
Lunin signed a new contract of his own last summer, which sees him through to 2030. While he may not remain at Real Madrid until this time, he has no plans to leave anytime soon, which is excellent for Los Blancos given that he is an excellent backup goalkeeper.
All eyes will be on who does leave Real Madrid in the coming weeks, now that Lunin has been ruled out. Garcia currently looks best-placed to depart, with Milan very interested in signing him as the replacement to former Los Blancos star Theo Hernandez, who left the Rossoneri earlier in the summer to join Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.

But the situation for Lunin is bit different bro Kelleher was going to be competing with Mamardashvilli (Proved himself already) and Alisson Real Madrid only has 2 main GKs including Lunin But if you're standing firm with your suggestion, then it should be a LOAN move (for more game time of course)
Marsh has nothing to do with Kellehers situation. Kelleher was going to move either way because he knows he will never bench Allison not even Marsh can bench Alisson. I give Alisson 2-3 years at Liverpool til he gets benched or leaves completely. Lunin should just leave either on loan or completely his talent is too good to be on the bench.

Lunin should leave. He needs to do what Kelleher did. Kelleher knew he was never going to bench Alisson at Liverpool so he left. Lunin will just waste his career being a bench warmer like Ter Steegen this year.

๐๐What Lunin should've said is he's willing to stay put in Madrid to enjoy the little opportunity he'll be given, not to "fight for his place"..None can fight Courtois especially with this World Cup year coming up..

They've extended Thibaut's contract But Lunin should stay, maybe after 25/26 Thibaut could move and you guys won't have any problem with finding a replacement Lunin should be patient ๐๐พ
