The series of ambiguities around Andriy Lunin’s future at Real Madrid continues, and it becomes even more exciting after the recent news about Arsenal making a very tempting offer to sign the Ukrainian goalkeeper.
Real Madrid’s management has already made an offer to Ilunin in order to renew his contract, which expires in 2025, and continue as a player in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad until the summer of 2029.
But with Thibaut Courtois clearly preferred in the goalkeeping position, reaching an agreement with Lunin remains difficult to achieve, especially after his brilliance and proving that he is not much less than his Belgian rival.
According to the Cadena Cup network, Arsenal is seeking to sign Lunin, with a promise from Mikel Arteta that he will be the first goalkeeper at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal currently owns David Raya, who excelled last season and succeeded in snatching the starting position with Aaron Ramsdale, and the latter is expected to leave during the current summer Mercato.
So far, Lunin has not made his final decision yet, but the source revealed that Arsenal is not the only one interested in the 25-year-old, and that the player has not made his final decision and is in a state of great hesitation.
If Lunin accepts the renewal for Real Madrid, this will mean that he will spend the entire next season, with the exception of the King’s Cup matches, on the bench, which is something he hates and does not want to experience again, even if he is promised that he will be the first-choice goalkeeper a year or two from now.
It is noteworthy that Lunin joining Arsenal does not mean that he will be guaranteed a starting role, as Arteta has repeatedly affirmed his absolute confidence in Raya, which makes the goalkeeping there under very fierce competition if the Ukrainian arrives in the British capital.
