Real Madrid not considering selling 27-year-old star this summer – report

Madrid, Spain – Real Madrid have no intention of parting with Andriy Lunin this summer, according to a report published by Spanish daily AS, despite mounting speculation over the 27-year-old goalkeeper’s long-term future at the club.

Lunin was propelled back into the spotlight after first-choice keeper Thibaut Courtois sustained an injury earlier this month. The Ukrainian international is now slated to shoulder considerable responsibility during April while Courtois recovers, starting with a pivotal Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich.

Although the goalkeeper has spent the bulk of the campaign on the sidelines—featuring in only three competitive fixtures prior to the recent clashes with Manchester City and Atlético Madrid—his performances in those two high-stakes matches have reinforced the club’s belief that he remains a reliable deputy to Courtois.

AS indicates that neither Real Madrid nor Lunin are actively exploring a transfer, even though several sides have sounded out the possibility of luring him away from the Spanish capital. The keeper has previously entertained exit ideas, yet none of the offers tabled have persuaded him to leave. Family stability in Madrid is understood to be a decisive factor; that comfort contributed to Lunin’s decision to sign a contract extension in 2024 that runs until 2030.

With the new deal securing his place at the club for the foreseeable future, Lunin is expected to concentrate on immediate on-field duties, beginning with the forthcoming European encounter against Bayern. While football’s unpredictable nature means situations can evolve rapidly, all signs currently point toward the Ukrainian remaining part of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad beyond the current campaign.
